I don't know about muckboots, but I do have something to say on the subject of wellies. Every day at approx 6 a.m. I pull on my wellies, and they then stay on until at the very least 7 p.m. Obviously, this varies ever so slightly with the seasons, as in the spring/summer, I generally keep them on till past 10 p.m. Having tried Hunters, and been very annoyed by the wearing on the inside of the heel and my subsequent blisters, I moved to Aigle boots. I haven't looked back. I do not buy the most expensive Aigle wellies, as I simply cannot afford it, but the ones that I do buy always do me well for well over a year, before I wear out the soles completely, and have to get a new pair. Have tried cheap wellies and they only lasted about a week and were very uncomfortable to boot!! ('scuse the pun!)
