I've been using mine now for 4 or 5 years and love them.  Really comfortable and for me, warm enough to hunt in down here all season long.

I'mon my second pair. I love them. Easy to get on and off and comfortable even during longer hikes.  For sitting in a treestand they will keep me warm down to about 25 degrees.

I have had a pair for 3-4 years now.  They are OK for my hunting through October.  In December I put on different boots.

The only thing I do not like about them is the fit.  I have poor arches and they are too wide for me so if I know I am hunting from a stand I will wear them. If I am planning on a lot of walking I go to something else.  Now, one of my best friends uses his for everything bowhunting, rifle hunting, and pheasant hunting. He loves them, I think they are just OK.

I love mine! I have the Armor series which is snakebite proof. I think those are discontinued. I'm into my third year on these boots. Very comfortable for slip-on boots.

Love mine, had them for 9 or 10 seasons, and they're still very wearable and warm.

awesome boots,,, get the wetlands though because they are tighter around the top where if I do step into the water unlike lacross they won't fill up in 1/2 a second.... plus I keep my knife and grunt call in my boots for easy access when sitting.  someone mentioned above when it gets lower than the 30's and I'm not moving I might wear something with more insulation.  not sure if the others have this but with the wet lands if you roll down the tops of the boots they are blaze orange inside,, I guess it helps if you know you have a gunner or bird hunter around.

I'm still on the fence if they lay down scent as you walk or not because of the fabric BUT I've never had a deer cross my path within view and spook so I don't know,,,,, I will always have a pair of mucks!

this is my 7th season and they have not had one problem with workmanship.

I absolutely love my mucks. I too have the wetlands and I wear mucks almost 365 days a year. If I'm hunting, fishing, doing yard work, heck really about anything I have a pair on. Ill never be without a pair or 3

About as good a rubber boot as you will find. I have had two pairs and they are very warm.

I just love mine I have the arctic, I bought my wife a set and she loves them. Made in China as I checked around to see if anything like them were made in the US found nothing that compared so i went with them and glad i did.

I agree they are a fine pair of rubber boots.  I have had two pair of the wetlands and also have a pair of the woodlands, but I only wear the woodlands when its COLD because if not my feet will sweat like crazy.  I also have a wide foot so I love the fit and I have tore through a many a briar patch in them that would completely rip a lesser boot.

Buy 'em. The Artic Sports have worked up here in the worst weather Michigan can dish out. I think mine are around 10 years old and still look great. Plus they weigh NOTHING.

The old ones made in the USA are very good. We have several pairs made in China and the bottoms come off. Cabela's has a pair called "Field Masters" I think. They have held up the best of the Chinese boots. When they go on sale at Cabela's you can get them for about $75.

I have two pairs.  The first pair soles separated from the boot after some hard hunting.  I used barge cement to repair the boots which lasted two years.  I just did them again.  That being said, I still love the boots.  Easy on and off, warm, and comfortable.  No problems with the newer ones.

I have a pair of Woody Armor and love them.  They are easy on and off, keep you warm and dry, snakeproof, and are comfortable.  I have hunted in very cold weather, sitting in a swamp, with the water freezing around the boots.  Just a wiggle and the ice breaks up, but feet are fine.  Not a better boot in my opinion.
