The flexibility and outsole of the Arctic Pro are great for tackling a variety of terrain including climbing up into a treestand. They are comfortable, provide a great deal of warmth, heat retention and are waterproof throughout. These are good boots and we will continue to use them when the weather dips down into the 15°-30☏ range. Summary on the Muck Boot Arctic Pro Hunting Boots Keep in mind this is for a treestand sit if you are doing a nonstop activity in these boots, like shoveling snow, you should be good all night. When the temperature dropped down into the single digits (fahrenheit), the 3 hour timer was ticking.Īfter about 3 hours, the heat I had and built up from the walk to the stand was exhausted and the Arctic Pro’s ability to contain self generated heat started to fail. It is pretty much “what do we have to “rate” these boots at so they look better than the competitor’s product on the shelf.” We understand this unfortunate situation that boot companies have to deal with so we just disregard temperature ratings to a certain extent and try them out for ourselves.įrom my experiences, these boots are good for extended stays when the temperature gets down into the teens. This crazy temperature rating is a reflection of the one thing that is wrong with the boot industry there is no standardized temperature rating system. We have read claims that these boots will keep your feet warm in -50☏ temperatures…. Here we go again with temperature ratings. **Our following opinion of the temperature ratings is based on sedentary treestand sits in which we are not moving other than to and from our treestand a deer hunting situation.** Temperature Range of the Muck Boots Arctic Pro Hunting Boots We think the Muck Boot Company did extremely well with the design of this boot’s outsole. These are by far not the most aggressive outsoles we have ran across, but they are designed that way for a reason. They grip and release allowing for consistent footing throughout your travels. The design of the tread is one that provides traction while not containing mud and more importantly snow during your steps. The outsole of the Arctic Pro performs well in the mud, snow, and on obstacles like rocks and fallen timber. That being said, I wouldn’t wear these if you have to drive for an extended period of time, but the average 20-40 minute drive to the deer woods shouldn’t be an issue. Although the thicker neoprene wall provides more resistance to the heel flex of this boot, I didn’t have any issues while working the gas pedal of my truck. Maneuvering in Muck Boots Arctic Pro Hunting BootsĪlthough these boots are designed for the extreme cold, they are flexible and provide outstanding comfort in a variety of situations. Perhaps a cinch top would be more of a convenient design in the future, but once you get used to putting the Muck Boots Arctic Pros on a few times, it’s no big deal. I found the best way of putting these boots on is to tuck your pant leg inside of your sock then slipping them in the boots. The only problem with this feature is getting your foot and pant leg into the boot without your pant leg getting caught.
