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.

With that being said, yes these Grub boots have a Vibram sole that offers a good amount of traction.

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 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 do a lot of work in cold weather then of course more protection is needed.

However, if you are looking for something you can use more year-round then a thinner material might be more desirable.

Nonetheless, this boot will surely keep your feet dry and is 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 has you covered

• Boot opening 15.5 inches
• 8mm thermal guard liner

We know that Kamik can make a good pair of winter boots, but can they make a good waterproof option?

Yes, they can! To be more specific they have done just that with the Kamik Hunter Boot.

These boots are made with a synthetic upper and a synthetic sole. It measures 13 inches from the arch making it a great option for walking in snow or anything other conditions where you may need a tall boot.

In addition, the nylon adjustable collar allows you to tighten them up to prevent water or snow from entering your boot.

It has a good size opening of 15.5 inches making it extremely easy to slip on.

Lastly, they feature an 8mm thermal liner meaning these boots are designed with the intention to keep your feet warm even on the coldest of days. In fact, they have a -40 degrees rating.

When you take a closer look at the quality of these boots, you understand why they can cost just as much as a pair of Muck Boots. These boots were designed to last!
