Outdoor Dirty Jobs Made Clean By My Muck Boots Hosers

A few months ago I had a moment of bliss in my life even though the day itself was cold, blowing snow, and just miserable. My wife, of 12 years is perhaps the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me, and it’s because she’s right with just about everything. I’m a builder in the upper peninsula of the great state of Michigan and as anybody who lives here can tell you, the winters are very cold. Now general contracting work does slow in the winter season, but there is plenty of work inside most homes to keep me busy throughout these cold months.

A friend of mine called with a bad water leak that was not only running down the walls but dripping onto the floor as well. This required some investigation in which I discovered the problem was a leak in the roof. And as luck would have it, there happened to be a foot of snow on the roof, lucky me. Normally I wouldn’t chance such a thing, but this poor lady had water ruining her walls and gathering in the middle of her hallway.

Now, here’s the part where my wife is always right, this was just after the holiday season and one of the gifts she gave me was a pair of rubber boots, Muck Boots Hoser Classics to be specific. They looked like really nice pair of “rubber boots” to me, but I’m outside working on my feet all day long, how long is a pair of rubber boots going to last me? And these are not something that you would buy at a discount all in one store that just fit over your own boots, these were rubber, waterproof, and have a great inside liner in them already.

Before I even attempted to climb on the roof, I went out to the truck and grabbed these waterproof boots because I knew they would be better for me on the roof than what I currently had on. I will never wear a pair of leather work boots out in the elements again. I didn’t think anything made of rubber was going to protect my feet the way my traditional boots always have, but I have to say that even in sub freezing weather, my feet were comfortable and flexible.

What I found out was my wife really knows what I need when working better than I do. A good pair of Muck Boots, who knew that 100% waterproof rubber has come such a long way that it’s able to replace your existing boot altogether, I would never have thought this. Yep, that’s her, looking after me even when I’m away at work, and it’s nice to know, because she wants me back home every evening.
