I have one of these in addition to a "summerweight" down comforter, and love them both: https://www.rileyhome.com/textured-cotton-coverlet

You can soak them in white vinegar. About half an hour if it's light rust; overnight if it's a bit heavier. You should be able to just wipe them clean. If you need something a bit abrasive, Bar Keepers Friend is pretty good for this as well. (I use vinegar on my cutlery and also jewellery tools when needed. It works really well.)

Edit: Wash and dry them as normal, afterwards. You don't want to eat the rust residue.

Estate sales often have high end rugs that are hand knotted but look very soiled sometimes so they don't get noticed. A professional pressure wash cleaner can bring them back to life. They last generations!

My dad has one of these on his desk. I used it in elementary school. I’m in my 40s now. It still works.

I went through 3 pairs of Muck boots in just under 3 months on each pair, all the shorter ones. The only ones that have lasted me years are the originals that were bought in 2016

>Not near as attractive as the glass

You'll learn to love it. Form follows function.

They look very similarly built, and reason why to suggest them along side Mucks?

Yeah mine have fallen apart. 5 years I got but my cheapo rubber dunlops are still going.

The soles detached, rubbers split in multiple places no longer water tight at all..

Comfort and warmth was amazing just disappointed in durability I mean they are, or look like, they are bomb proof but I’ve never had wellies fall apart so much.

The le chamu I wore on the estate were like 3rd hand and several seasons in, the sole had worn thin but was still water proof. Probably my next pair tbh

I'd like to emphasize the warm aspect. I get cold feet way too easy and the Muck Woody Max were the only thing to keep my feet warm in sub-zero weather. And comfortable!

Can’t agree they are BIFL. I bought direct online and received a full refund when I returned the split boots after 11 months. I found them very comfortable but they split across the top of the toe box. I’m in Europe.

Don’t use a comforter. Get a blanket and a fan with a timer. You’re welcome.

Hard to recognize them in this picture. Not enough muck!

Got one of these at goodwill for cheap! It's to this day one of my best purchases. No more breaking french presses!

If anyone finds that they have trouble peeling them off after a wearing, I find that compression socks help them slide right off!

I've had a Walnut butcher block one for about a year and a half and i like it overall but the edges of the finish are peeling a bit at the front of the desk. It would probably be under warranty but I live alone in a walk up apartment and this thing is heavy so I probably won't bother.

Agreed. A coworker’s pair is currently held together with duct tape after a few seasons. Great until they get to that point though

These look like muslin, are they?

I've only been able to get about 2 years out of Muck boots before having to replace them. The other half wears his more routinely and can only usually get a year run before we have to get new ones.

I'm definitely not saying I know of anything better on the market, but unfortunately, I haven't had BIFL luck with these.

I love them but definitely not BIFL. I wear them almost every single day and can get a year, maybe 2 at most out of them by patching the inevitable cracks using aqua seal. Haven’t found anything more comfortable, waterproof, or easy to don/doff though.

I go through the pair OP bought in a summer. Let it be known tho that I do chemical stripping and powerwashing so they are covered in bleach, acid, and potassium hydroxide consistantly. Great great boots.

This comment is so rich. Bravo 🥇

I believe those of us that have ordered before can provide new customers with a referral link for a first time discount. They also do “seconds” sales at least twice a year. They send 20-25% discount codes via text or email quote regularly.

If you like Muck Boots, you'll love DryShod.

I’ve worn a few pairs completely out of tread, each within two years of purchase. Not exactly for life. But, I’ll continue to buy them because they are excellent boots, if a bit pricey.
