Reply to comment by originaljimeez in Muck boots are amazing. by ExtraordinaryMagic

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

The original owner of Muck sold out, after Muck reduced the quality he started Dry Shod.

Thank you! I work in mining and go through 4 pairs a year. Muck boots wear out quick, but I can wear them on 12 hours shifts. My first pair lasted years. If he's the original Muck boot guy and is disappointed with the quality, I'm definitely getting some dry shods. Thanks for the comment.

I have two pair of dry shods. The sizing is kind of weird but they’re very comfortable

How so though? I think more context is needed for why they’re better, like I wish there was an actual comparison than “it’s actually better”

No such thing with these style of boots

Not sure if you consider them the same style, but Bean boots are still resoleable for cheap.

Just be careful that you actually get the made in USA "Bean Boots". I made the mistake of getting the similar looking but imported Storm Chaser boots and they cannot be resoled.

But they don't keep you as warm as Mucks. Bean boots are for throwing on when you're running to the store. Mucks are for work.

There are Hunter wellies

Don't think those can be resoled either?

My sovereign’s can be resoled but then again most wellies aren’t really footwear that lends itself to decades of workwear because one wrong piece of metal will rip the waterproofing.

But me on the farm checking out the sheep and playing with the shelties they’ve lasted decades without needing resoling then again the hardest surface they ever touch is the wood in the barn and porch and the odd stone.
