Winter boots

Help Support CattleToday:

My ol Muck (chore) boots have been great. 3rd season here. Plus some spring/summer/fall rain times.

They keep my feet warm enough they will sweat some then they are cold. I got weird feet I guess.
 
I've had a pair of mucks and liked them, I've got a pair of Boggs right now,I've had them for years, the bottom portion is still in good shape but the neoprene top has fell apart, I'm going to buy a pair of TSC Ridgelines this weekend before the Arctic front moves in, mostly because they're cheaper and I have a coupon for $50 off anything in TSC which brings the price with tax down to about $40.
 
I have a pair of Noble Outfitters boots that I am going on the second winter. I also use them to irrigate in for the last two years. I also have a pair of Sorels that I have had for years, had to replace the liner a few years ago, but they are still in pretty good shape. I like my Noble's boots because I can just slip my foot into, and don't have to tie them.
 
There are lots of different Noble boots. Which slip ons do you have? (360 days I won't see mud but I have seen days I wished a GOOD WATERPROOF boots were waiting on my closet)
 
I have Noble Muds. They seem to be real popular here. Go to the sale and pay attention to what brand people are wearing and the majority have Muds on. I got a new pair this year. The last pair it took 4 or 5 years to wear them out.
 
Since my original post, I had been using Muck Boots for quite a while, and tried a pair of Lacrosse. I've recently got a pair of cheaper Lincoln Outfitters from Rural King. I don't know if they will hold up any better, probably not but are considerably less expensive, so if they last a similar amount of time I'll probably just keep on with them. They have a little less insulation than the Lacrosse but are still pretty warm. I've been able to just wear my regular socks in them. One day my feet a little cold after being out several hours.
 
I never had good luck with Mucks and started buying LaCross a few years ago. I have the whole range, from rain boots to the Alpha for extreme cold. So far, they're holding up better than any others I've tried.

As far as warmth, I keep them on a boot dryer/heater. Game changer! And I did use a pair of Mr. TC's heated socks last weekend. They worked great but the batteries are annoying (at least for me). And BTW, @Jeanne - Simme Valley, you had asked (maybe last year?) about the heated gloves, and I discouraged them because they're so big and bulky. Mr. TC got a pair of heated glove liners this year and he loves them. There's still the battery pack behind the wrist, but they're thin, the heat extends to the tips of the fingers, and he can even use his phone with them on.
 
I fell into a deal at a discount store and bought some PAJAR (?) boots that are made in Canada, I think. They are light, warm, and grippy. I don't know if they'll take much abuse because they are nice enough that I wear crappy old boots to do crappy things and save the nice boots for light duty stuff.

Very interested!! What is the brand name? Do you think they will hold up to picking up heavy 5 gallon buckets? I figure if wires are in the fingers, they will break. Maybe they just run on the backsides?? I have boxes of Toastie Toes/Hand Warmers/ and body warmers. Great niece keeps me in supply. I don't like/need the body warmers, but have so many, I stuff them into my mittens. I have to have "something" to keep my hands warm.

Weston Heated Glove Liners. There are no wires, which is amazing. Not sure how durable they are because these particular ones are just the liners, to be worn inside a larger glove. Except Mr. TC wears them without outer gloves most of the time BUT he's not lifting, doing any manual labor. That said, they do have a range of products, including regular heated work gloves.

 
Timely, I was just wondering if there are any boots that have a rubber sole like a winter tire, that stays soft when it's cold. The insulated leather rockys are fine in deeper snow and mud, but frozen ground and cold metal leads to some bruising. Seems to be fine above 20 or so, but below that, the rubber is too hard. Anyone know of any that stay soft in the cold?
