Muck boots

[harleydales]

Has anyone got any, and what are they like? Are they hot in the summer? D your legs sweat in them? Are they good to ride in?

Thanks

I have got a pair of woofwear full length riding boots

They are fantastic! They are like muckers, but full lenght. I have them for winter as they keep my legs lovely and warm and I can ride in them no problem.

I think they do a shorter version of them as well.

Quality and comfort wise - I cant fault them.

I've had those too Jo, they are good.

The Muck Boots are like wellies but neoprene, the website is www.bellstane.com but I can't get it at work!!

I've got the Tyne Rider Muck boots and love them. I've been wearing them all day long even in this heat because they are the only footwear I'm comfortable in. Yes my legs do sweat in this heat (30C), my thin cotton trousers are wet through when I take the boots off and my feet are very hot but I like being hot and it stops my ankle hurting. They are great to ride in and lovely and cosy in winter. They are supportive and comfortable to walk in. For me, the only negative thing is that they've recently changed the design slightly by making the heel end a bit wider. They used to be very narrow at the heel but wide at the toe which was ideal for my feet but apparently people complained that they were too difficult to get off.

I have the Tyne rider aswell and love them. Find they are a little bit too warm in summer but are fantastic in winter. Very comfy!

Muck boots RULE!! LOL, I have the Tyne riding ones and they are fantastic, too hot for me in the weather we have had but they are brilliant for riding and mucking out, day to day walking etc.
I have the tack classic too but they are slippy in the mud and wet, Tynes arnt.

Echo - I wouldn't wear anything else during the winter now.

I love my long mucK boots for winter but they are very hot and sweaty in summer - I have been trying to pluck up courage to wash the insides (anyone tried it??).

I saw some short length ones (looked almost like jodhpur boots) - are they good too??

Fantastic, I have a pair and love them!

Can also be found here.

www.thesaddleshop.co.uk under Footwear, then long riding boots.

The Tyne boots are superb. Won't be without mine...

Did you know, the inner sole comes out in summer to stop overheating, and you can roll them down to keep cool!

I have the jodphur boots in these and theya are great!!!!
Lovely and comfy and u can wear them all day and they are also excellent to ride in !

[acorn]

I love mine - I roll them down too for the warmer months but you have to be careful because they can get kind of creased where they are rolled. Better for winter than summer wear though

Hmm, seriously tempted for the winter. Wellies are just too cold and I don't really like long riding boots. I could use these for sheep work too.....

There are 2 places that stock them near here - one at £55 and one at £35 plus vat.
Is that reasonable?
