Rocky 16 inch Mudsox with 800g Thinsulate -- stinky but comfortable!
By MacHound
After trying on dozens of different styles/brands of hunting boots at many different local stores I finally found boots that are very comfortable, well made, and not too heavy to walk in. I compared Rocky Mudsox with similar styles by Muck Co, Cabelas brand, and several others.I was looking for boots that were warm enough to hunt in Central Wisconsin tree stands through November, yet light enough to splash through April puddles. I wanted a boot that would not leave human or leather scents behind. I wanted a comfortable walking boot with good arch support for the 1 mile hike in/out from my tree stand. Rocky Mudsox was the best combination of comfort and construction quality I could find in 2011.Ordinarily I wear 10.5 size shoes; I went with the size 12 Mudsox. They're a bit floppy when I only have a single pair of socks on, but I wanted extra room for two pair of heavy winter stockings plus toe warmers, or one pair thick wool ski socks plus hunting socks. (My feet get super cold sitting motionless in tree stands at 4:30 AM & 10 degrees F.) 800 Grams of Thinsulate is less than the minimum insulation needed for November Wisconsin hunting. I solved this insulation issue with a pair of Arctic Shield boot insulators applied on over my Mudsox for added in-stand warmth; Icebreaker Overboots were another option I considered. The total $100 sale price of my Mudsox + Arctic Shield overboots was about the same as other name-brand hunting boots without the Archtic Shields.Rocky Mudsox came with a thick coating of silicon over the rubber part of the boot. While this silicon probably contributes to the advertised self-cleaning tread, I didn't like how slippery the boots were. I rubbed off the silicon with paper towels.The boots were terribly stinky when I first got them, like a set of new car tires kept indoors. Removing the silicon allowed boot's adhesives to gas off. I put them in front of my wood stove for several days, rotating the boots frequently to avoid burning them and to accelerate off-gassing. Now they're much less stinky. I'll let them sit nine more months before 2012 hunting season. Most of the remaining odor should be gone by then. I may reapply a thin layer of boot silicon for protection.While more comfortable than all-rubber boots, mixed rubber & Neoprene boots appear vulnerable to shredding by black locust thorns or raspberry thistles. I plan on wearing my thick fleece hunting pants outside my Mudsox to protect the Neoprene.In summary, these boots require some effort to make them less stinky. I don't know how my odor reduction efforts will pay off in future hunting success. I figure if I can smell the boots at 10 yards the deer can probably smell them miles away. I have no way to evaluate the effectiveness of ScentIQ human scent control aid. It's certainly debatable what a deer's interpretation of chemical smells is. On the plus side, they're the most comfortable hunting boot I've ever worn, like a favorite pair of slippers. Nothing ruins a hunting day faster than cold, uncomfortable feet! I hope never to have another one of those days.(Disclosure: I bought this item at a local sporting retailer, not from Amazon. I remain a satisfied Amazon customer.)

Rocky Mudsox with 800g thinsulate, not as described.
By K. Anderson
I purchased these boots to be used in Alaska summertime fishing boats, surf fishing. Summers can get to 70 degrees here were I live. These boots were listed as 5ml thick, that's a very minimal amount of insulation. Upon arrival the boots were the beefed up version, which is fine for freezing days and hunts in the fall where body activity is considerably less. But I needed the thinner version, less bulky. Although I debated whether to keep them. They fit nice. They are very well made boots. Yet I already had a warmer version of Cabela's for hunting a 1200 g version and these are bulky big...good for sitting. So I returned them. My discussion with the Representative was not positive as she said the listing says it has insulation sir and argued with me about the web site properly listing the product information. The person listing these boots did not tell us they have 800g of thinsulate insulation. These boots by Rocky are an older version. Although the newer ones of the same type are much more expensive. These boots are a great deal! I paid $92.88. Note: The trend in these type of rubber boots is to put neoprene uppers around your calf area. I've seen many people wearing these types here in AK. Over time the neoprene loses its stiffness and starts to look less than desirable (saggy) and they get dirty and retain the dirty look. I ordered the rubber boots with a an adjustable top to keep water and snow out. Be careful what you order on Amazon. Make sure you know what it is exactly before you order and the item matches the description in all areas stating these facts. Find them in your local store and check them out there just to be sure. Most the reps I speak to on Amazon are excellent and thing go well. This reps English was not as good as the others. I gave these boots one less star because I didn't get to use them, but they appeared well made and fit nicely.
