I started using these boots this past season around July. As long as they keep making them available and not changing the design,..the Muck boots won't see my feet again. These boots beat them by far in comfort, werbility,..meaning they flex nice,..like wearing sneakers, they have awesome traction,..I mean really a soft no slip sole. It is wearing down since I've bought them,..but at regular price of $20 a pair that's acceptable with me,..the lightweight , comfort and traction is what it's all about for me. The cost here is just an added HUGE bonus. You can get (5) pairs of these compared to (1) pair of Muck. I was a little worried about the rubber cracking at the flex,..but so far they still look and act like brand new. They're on sale now for $17 a pair. Ad states brand may vary by store,...I'm glad I got the good ones. If you decide to buy,..look for the ones like they show in the picture,..they are the good ones. Also,..like many shoes,..get a better than stock pair of insoles,.they make the difference sometimes.

Good to see you again Jeff!
I have some Mucks and my feet hurt as well as my back after about 2 hours. They also have lousy traction. The boots you posted make sense.
Although I quit buying from Shoes for Crews because their tennis shoes fall apart really fast and they don't want to honor thie warranty, I get each employee this boots. They have held up well and have the good Shoes for Crews anti slip sole.
Another thing I notice about these cheap boots is the rubber around the foot never faded at all,..whereas the Muck boots were always dried out and pale looking at the end of a season,.. which I believe also results in the hardening of the rubber which made them crack at the flex. I've turned a couple of my buddies onto these cheap boots and they agree, they are overall a nicer boot than the Muck.
Very easy on and off as well!!
