just revisiting this thread because i was looking at muck boots today. i’m about to do A LOT more pressure washing then i ever have so i was looking for something burly and waterproof.
imho, if you are going to buy work boots, red wings are the only way to go. i have some waterproof (i think their version of gore tex is called “RW dry” or something) ones that are about six years old and they still look like new. they are heavy, and hot in the summer, but still totally waterproof and rock solid. red wings make timberlands look like hospital socks.
I think I’m about to pull the trigger on these. They look like they have great grip like restaurant style shoes and all rubber but with the fit of a hiking boot. I feel like I’m swimming in my mucks…I really want something fitted and will not be destroyed by SH. Crossing my fingers on these.
I wore some shoesforcrews shoes for a season. If you step in dog crap, the funny non-slip grip they have will dice it into tiny little pieces which will all fall out into your vehicle when it dries. Either that or you can spend 15 minutes picking out the pieces with a toothpick. For that reason alone I swore I’d never buy what are otherwise good shoes, ever again. It’s that annoying.

No, really, you guys don’t understand. Any other shoe, you could totally do that. I too was once a confident shoe-squirter like you. But then I bought some shoesforcrews, and my faith in the garden hose method was shattered. With shoesforcrews, the crap will quite simply only come out one of two ways, as described earlier.
With much therapy, I’ve now put shoesforcrews behind me, but to this day I still have a mild panic attack when I step in dog crap.
If you ever feel tempted to buy some, run away, run away!
