Mudders Mud & Snow Shoes

Needed to cross some saltwater marshes and sloughs. These made it happen. They perform better on horizontal surfaces - its a little tricky getting up and down angled slough banks as the air compression doesn't quite get locked in. My only wish was that they would make a smaller size. The men, in their size 11 boots had no trouble keeping them on. My size 6 boot tended to slip up and out the back, even with straps at max closure. Still, a great product! Highly Recommend!!!

I bought a pair of these a couple years ago before Forestry Suppliers carried them. While they help they are not failsafe. After about 5 minutes of my 1st excursion; I sank past my knees. Bottom line, you have to "test" the marsh, before putting your full weight on any given area.

For several years I've been spraying purple loosestrife in a cattail bog with a 3gal backpack sprayer in August when it's about 90 deg out. I make two treatments every year and walk about a quarter to a half a mile each time I do this. It's kind of like walking in two feet of crusted snow in the spring, take a few steps and break through to my knees, get up on top for a few more steps and down I go. After finishing my first spraying last year I swore I was through with this unless I could find a much better way. I bought the Mudders in time for the second (follow-up) spraying and was very pleased to find them working as well as I had hoped for. I would never go snowshoeing for fun nor would I ever go "Muddering" for fun but If I can find a tool to make my work much more effective, I'm in! As far as the other review commenting on their longevity I can't argue with as of yet, but if I get a few more years worth out of them and I think I will, I'll for sure buy another pair.
