Men's Chore Mid Western Work Boot

Standing in the boots they were very comfortable. They seem to have enough cushion and arch support for my taste. However, based on my personal preference on how I want my boot to feel/fit I returned the boots. I decided that I wanted a boot that laced instead. I could feel my heel lift and fall inside the boot when walking. Which is not how I want to work all day. This is the 3rd boot in this style by different manufacturers so as I mentioned it's nothing to do with the boot.

I've owned work boots for most of my life. Got my first pair as a young man, and now am an old(er) man. During that time, I've probably tried just about every brand. I never considered muck boots until I started seeing them at rodeo's. Of course I've had rubber boots, and I assumed Muck boots were just fancy rubber boots. Oh was I wrong!!!! I bought the mid western work boot and have worn that thing on many projects. I've walked creeks looking for animals, I've hunted in them, I've spent many hours with them on my feet and they are comfortable. I love that when you're done you can just hose them off. I could do that with leather, but over time the leather would seem to tighten up and it was never really waterproof. My leather boots could handle the occasional step in water, but long term standing in ankle deep - no way my leather boots would hold up for long. These muck boots are the perfect combination of leather and rubber (I am sure they aren't rubber, but some fancy plastic material - I just don't know what it is called). Also, little known boost is that you can fold down the calf portion on a hot day. It doesn't sound like much, but it helps get some air to those dogs when they are sweltering.
