Muck/Dri-Shod

Has anyone had any luck with a Muck/Dri-Shod type boot that lasts longer than 5-6 months before cracking where the toe flexes? For $115-160.00 a pair I expect more than a few months life.
 
Muck is basically garbage. When they first
came out they were pretty good but they
sold out and cheapened up. The company that
originally started Muck Boots started a new
company that is Dri-shod. Dri-shod is much
better quality and more comfortable than
Muck is now. How long they last really
depends on how you use boots. I can't
stand to wear any of that style very long.
The Dryshod may be better quality but all
of that style boot is to hot for me. I
even have the lighter weight version for
summer and can't take it. I can wear them
in the middle of winter and I'm fine.
 
I just buy black rubber boots with Green Patch at
the Walmart, 50 bucks a pair. Wear them everyday
doing dairy chores. I get 4 months out of a set, and
think that is reasonable considering the amount of
wearing time my boots get.
 
I buy the Itasca boots at tractor supply when they bring in their winter clothing stock every fall. Currently have three pair, my "barn boots" my "auction boots" and my "goin' out to dinner" boots. The barn boots are a couple years old now, and get a lot of miles on 'em walking the dog. There's one crack in the toe but that is because I burned through the boot in that spot with the 4-wheeler tire, dangling my foot over the back while riding on one knee, picking rocks. They're still waterproof.

The "goin' out to dinner" boots are just the new pair I bought last spring when Tractor Supply clears out all the leftover winter stuff. Haven't worn them yet. Keeping them as a backup.
 
I stopped wearing all rubber water proof boots.
Went with cabelas hackers or any other brand that
say water resistant. That or cheap runners and
change often
 
I've worn "Muck" style boots for the last 10-12 years. I've never had a pair crack on me, anywhere. I wear the heck out of them hunting and building fence, so I always rip the tops up, but I've never had a pair crack. I'm not sure why that would happen, perhaps different walking strides are tougher on them?
But all of mine have lasted several years until I ripped the tops too much to continue wearing them.
The last year or so I've switched to Tidwe boots. Same style, and seem to be made just as well as Mucks, but they're under $100. I've had my pair a year with no rips or holes. My 12 year old has had his almost two years and still no holes.
 
I have a pair of LaCros. They have lasted
me a long time. They are comfortable to
wear but they do get hot. To help any
style of rubber boot last, you must rinse
them off clean after you wear them every
time. I learned this from my dairy days.

Huh. I had 3 pair of Mucks crack on me and now 2 pair of Dri-Shod. All crack in the same place where your foot flexes as you walk. And every pair of black cheapie barn boots cracked in the same place. Maybe it's just me.
