I have had a pair of Bogs for 2 years now with almost daily 3 season use around the farm as well as hunting in the fall and they are still in good shape. They fit great and are very comfortable. I was thinking of ordering another pair because they are 2 years old but they look like I will easily get another year out of them. Best value I have found at just over $100 ordered from their website.
Best Rubber Boots
- Thread starter Slooshark1

I like the tight fit of mucks at the top. I find my pair rub at my ankles and friends are worn to the rubber at his heels. Our boots are in the 2nd season and if you use them in heavy brush make sure you have Goop on hand for holes in the neo tops. Great boots for clean hardwoods.
dont know maybe they change the production site. i will try my last pair this year and see how it goes.

Years back, Miner's were very good for the price. L.L. Bean rubber bottom leather tops are very comfortable. Tried Lacrosse but prefer the Nokians (have to drive all the way to
Powassan to get them) ... Finnjagd.
Very pricey, but love my Chameau's, have lasted years (more than 10) and are still going strong. May replace with Harkila Foresters.

Muck boots A+
I didn't have luck with the Muck chore boots in the swamp either. These only have the rubberized lower. The neoprene took a beating and pretty torn up after only one week in the swamp /bush.
They were very comfortable but more of a trail boot, I think they make some models with the rubberized coating over the full boot, I think these would be better for heavy use.
I ended up going with a pair of Baffin Trappers. They are still holding up after 3 seasons of pretty good use. Made in Canada too.

I'm om my 4th year with a pair of Action Targets with the 400g of Thinsulate. They are warmish, comfortable for long walking and so far have been durable in everything from stubble fields to moose bush.
For many years before I got the Actons I wore a pair of the Nokian Finnjagd style as well as the Kamik type with the felt liners. The Nokians were beautys, they fit tight and were great for walking but being without any type of insulation were not at all warm when I stopped moving. I've done and still do a lot of moose hunting wearing the Kamik felt lined type of boot because they are very warm and dry but they wear out fast (but only cost $35) and are crappy to walk in when out for the chase.
A sort of rubber boot, my old Sorel Bisons (inexpensive) RBLT's have been keeping my deer hunting feet warm and dry, walking and standing, for over 30 years. A couple of years ago I bought a new pair of Sorel Caribou (spendy) to replace the Bisons. The Caribou are very good boots, much bettter quality than the Bisons, but they haven't made it out to the field yet.

Good stuff is made in Suomi
Yes I am bit biased based upon my heritage. They made boots that lasted forever.
I did hear though that Nokians are now no longer hand made in Finland, due to cost, unfortunately. They are now made in Central Europe. As long as they have the same quality control, they should last as long.

You guys are missing one important fact about the dunlops. If you are a wee tipsy, and need to take a leak... just relax... the uppers are stiff enough to hold you vertical..... so you can do your business without worry of falling over.
That's why I loved them as a derrickhand, almost didn't need a pull back lanyard up stick! Your feet don't fall throuh the fingers as much either!
