My Arctic Sport Winter Boots Review

Earlier this winter, I was given an opportunity to test and write a review on a pair of Muck Arctic Winter Sport boots that were supposed to be greatest affordable boots to hit the market yet. How convenient that I happen to live in a frigid part of the US during the winter season, northern New York State, where the temperature is normally around the zero degree mark. And as further luck would have it, we were having one of our coldest winters on record.

My first impression of the boots was the thickness of the rubber used, much more than any store bought waterproof rubber boots. The nylon type top part of the boot was very silky feeling, and supposedly wraps around your calf for a snug fit. Remember your old rubber boots when you were a kids and how often the snow used to fall in from the top? Great feeling wasn’t it?

Inside the boot there’s this breathable type nylon lining that’s covered with fleece. I like fleece, and this reminded me of a very big fleece sock. I like fleece, and this reminded me of a very big fleece sock. I slipped my feet into the boots just wearing the socks I had on, stood up and noticed they had nice support and a very comfortable feel to them. As I walked around I noticed how light and comfortable they were, but were very supportive, a good sign.

Now for an actual outdoors, frigid test, will they really keep my feet warm? The day theses arrived on my doorstep, it happened to be zero degrees out, so I figured a good day for a test. As I ventured outside I walked on our shoveled sidewalks for about a half a mile, then onto an open field with about a foot and a half of snow covering. What really got cold were my face and my hands, to the point where I had to get inside.

Taking my winter garments off and warming up by the fire, I was pleased that my feet didn’t have that burning sensation, you know the one that makes them feel like they are on fire, when you bring them to the brink of frostbite? Since that day, every time I’ve gone outside, I put these boots on. For me, it’s more of a comfort thing than an actual survival thing . If you need a solid, comfortable waterproof boot, that will keep you feet nice and warm no matter what you are doing outside, I would suggest you check these Arctic Sport Muck boots out, your feet will love you for it.
