Features:
- Rubber and Neoprene Upper
- Rubber Vibram sole
- 100% waterproof
- Rated for -40 degrees weather
- 2mm rubber shell
The first option that we want to take a closer look at is Grub boots. These are made with a rubber and neoprene upper and they are equipped with a Vibram sole.
You might have heard us talk about a Vibram sole a lot on this blog, but what exactly is that?
This is a sole that is specifically designed to offer traction. A must-have when working outside in the elements.

A few other features that we want to highlight is that this boot much like muck boots is 100% waterproof. It also has an impressive comfort rating of -40 degrees making it a great option to have even while working in cold weather.
Let’s take a look at some key differences between these boots and muck boots.
One of the main differences you will notice is the rubber shell. For example, the Arctic Pro is equipped with 8mm of neoprene, whereas this option only has 2mm.
Is this a deal-breaker?
Well, that really depends on the type of conditions you will be working in. For example, if you tend to a lot of work in cold weather than of course more protection is needed.
However, if you are looking for something you can use more year-round than a thinner material might be more desirable.
Nonetheless, this boot will surely keep your feet dry and a great option for those looking for a cheaper alternative to muck boots.
Lastly, they are available in knee-high, mid-height, and even steel toe options. Whatever job you plan on taking on, Grub Boots have you covered
