Muckboots
Posted: Sunday 26 March, 2006
Hard though this will be to believe, up until last week, I didn't have a pair of wellies. I wore Dan's wellies, walking type boots or an old pair of rubber riding boots, depending on the conditions and who got to the back door first.
Two things prompted me to change this. First was the snow - my boots weren't much protection and I discovered that my riding boots hurt my feet. Second was a visit from our friends, Carol and Graham. We were all going off to look at some sheep (subject of another post soon) and they (carol and Graham, not the sheep) were both sporting Muckboots. When we arrived at the home of our sheepkeeping friend, she also was wearing Muckboots. Never one to miss a trick, I tried on Carol's (which were a wee bit small, lucky for her) and resolved to purchase a pair.
Well, these are fabby boots. Warm (you only need one pair of socks, so I have to take a pair OFF now before I go out), comfy (expand to fit "sturdy" calves), don't pull off in the mud at the field gate (great when you have to leap out of the way of a hairy Highland pony intent on his feed bucket).
All round excellent boots, really.

I have a pair too! They are the 'Tays' (now discontinued). I hope to start riding soon so have been searching for bargains on the net for a pair of Muck Boot Company jod boots (called the Wear). I have been so impressed by my Tay Muck Boots; they are so warm and comfy that I tend to wear them every where!!
