My problem with most Muck and Bog boots, is the unprotected neoprene upper. I tore the upper on a boot while working through some knarly brush, after a twig caught the upper on the boot. I went back and exchanged those boots for a pair of the Irish Setters. I chose those boots simply because the entire boot is rubber-coated neoprene, as opposed to the Muck/Bog-style boots that have rubber on the lower portion, but exposed neoprene on the upper.
The Irish Setters have proven to be immeasurably more tough than the Bogs.
