3 years ago I decided to upgrade my wet weather footwear from cheap rubber boots to more expensive Muck boots. I paid $40.00 for my first pair at Academy Sports.

I needed a boot that was easy to put on and take off since we’re constantly doing various chores around the property. These worked well and have actually held up really well…they are 10 years old.
We started wearing them while fishing and noticed that we needed more aggressive tread and a better heel. We opted to try the Muck boot brand since our local Ag and Feed Store carried them. Fast forward 3 years after purchasing these and now the soles are coming apart. To say I was disappointed is an understatement.


To me this is unacceptable and I will definitely not be buying these again. Our friends have been telling us about Le Chameau boots and I have decided to try those. So far they are EXTREMELY comfortable and are a joy to walk in.

I opted for the Chaseur model with neoprene lining and side zips. Time will tell how well they perform and last, but I plan on giving them a good workout in the future.
