Tackle All Your Outdoor Chores With These Ree-Approved Muck Boots
Living and working on a ranch is dirty business, and that's something Ree Drummond knows all too well. She needs gear to keep her dry and comfy from head to toe while she deals with animals, mud from the pond behind her house, and plenty of other messy situations. That's probably why the Drummonds consider muck boots an everyday essential. And if you have similar tough tasks to accomplish, you should definitely grab a pair of these best muck boots for women.
Our Top Picks
These sturdy, waterproof shoes are also known as chore or work boots, and they have a lot in common with rain boots. The biggest difference? They're arguably twice as durable, and are designed to hold up against leaks and protect your feet in the, well, muckiest of conditions. Muck boots are waterproof shoes perfect for those moments that don't quite require snow boots, but are still incredibly slushy, muddy, or sludge-filled. And though it might seem obvious, they're not to be confused with cowboy boots, which are best for drier work conditions.
While there are tons of muck boots for women on the market, not all of them are worth the hefty price tag (and there's only one brand that's specifically Ree-approved!). So, whether you have a ranch and cattle of your own or you're just planting a garden in your yard, you'll be able to find the perfect pair of muck boots for you by scrolling through our picks.
