You can go to each company\u2019s website and learn more about the specs, materials, and technology each employs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bottom line, we tested out how well these boots perform, day in and day out, during normal farm tasks and workloads.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ll discuss how well each boot performed in the listed categories and let you know the winner we selected in each.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Price<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HISEA:<\/strong> Right off the bat, you notice that <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/43grc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HISEA\u2019s<\/a> boots are very affordable. Especially if you\u2019ve been a prior Muck or Bogs wearer. HISEA\u2019s boots typically run in the $50-75 range. We have not yet seen sales on their site\u2014just one low everyday price. Plus, it\u2019s easy to find HISEA promo codes (like ours \u201cFROMSCRATCH\u201d that gives you 15% off your entire order)!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Muck:<\/strong> The comparable Muck Chore Boot ($145) retails for over double what the <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/43gr7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HISEA Work Boot<\/a> ($57.99) retails for. Muck does offer higher end boot options with features like steel toes or more breathable materials that will quickly get you into the $200 price range. To be fair, you can find Muck Boots marked down throughout the season\u2014I recall seeing Chore boots for around $80 during a Black Friday sale. But you\u2019ll still be paying more than the HISEA equivalent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bogs:<\/strong> Bogs will put you in about the same price range as Muck. Joelle\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/43gr8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HISEA Barn Boots<\/a> retail at $49.99 where the Bogs Farm Boots retail at $140. With 15% off the HISEA\u2019s, that&#8217;s nearly 3 times the cost! The Bogs website does run frequent sales making them more affordable.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">*WINNER*<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HISEA<\/strong> takes the price category, hands down. We have not seen better value out there when it comes to farm boots. If Muck and Bogs could claim their boots last 2 or 3 times longer than HISEA\u2019s, then maybe there\u2019s a case for the extra cost. But experience tells us that farm boots go through the extremes regardless and only last so long. We\u2019ll gladly take a 50% or better cost savings with <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/43grc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HISEA<\/a> any day of the week.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comfort<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HISEA:<\/strong> Joelle and I both noticed something right away when we put on our <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/43grc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HISEA<\/a> boots\u2014the soft, cushiony feel. I likened it to my HISEA boots wearing more like a gym shoe than a boot. Plus, they are lightweight. Joelle\u2019s HISEA\u2019s are only slightly lighter than her BOGS. But I notice a significant weight reduction in my HISEA boots compared to my Mucks. The sole is also noticeably more flexible than either of the Mucks or Bogs we own, which gives you more agility for tasks that involve bending over and squatting\u2014i.e. gardening!<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/planting-seeds-by-hand-in-the-garden.jpeg\" alt=\"planting seeds by hand in the garden\" class=\"wp-image-3419\" style=\"width:450px;height:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/planting-seeds-by-hand-in-the-garden.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/planting-seeds-by-hand-in-the-garden-600x800.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/planting-seeds-by-hand-in-the-garden-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/planting-seeds-by-hand-in-the-garden-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/planting-seeds-by-hand-in-the-garden-585x780.jpeg 585w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/planting-seeds-by-hand-in-the-garden-250x333.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/planting-seeds-by-hand-in-the-garden-550x733.jpeg 550w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/planting-seeds-by-hand-in-the-garden-800x1067.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/planting-seeds-by-hand-in-the-garden-135x180.jpeg 135w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/planting-seeds-by-hand-in-the-garden-375x500.jpeg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Muck:<\/strong> My Muck Chore boots feel bulky and heavy to wear. I didn\u2019t notice it as drastically until trying out my HISEA boots. But now I\u2019d always choose the HISEA boots when going out for chores or a project. The soles on Muck boots are very stiff.

They offer that \u201cgym shoe\u201d like feel for all day comfort. I never wanted to wear my Muck Chore boots for all day projects. But I\u2019ve had no problem slipping on my HISEA\u2019s for whatever the day holds in store.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Durability<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HISEA:<\/strong> We\u2019ll admit, with only a several month test window (compared to a couple years with Mucks and Bogs), our review of HISEA\u2019s durability is inconclusive. But some reviewers from the <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/43grc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HISEA<\/a> website claim their boots are still holding up great after purchasing as early as 2021! So far, the boots have the same high quality, durable feel we\u2019d expect from either Muck or Bogs and we expect them to last for years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Muck:<\/strong> Somewhere between year 1-2, the neoprene lining started tearing away from the rubber base on my Muck Chore boots. Somewhere between year 2-3 the rubber bases started cracking all the way through. They received heavy use during those years, but I remember being surprised that they were <em>already<\/em> starting to fail and going to need replacement.

We can update this after more time has passed. But as for now, we see no reason why our HISEA\u2019s shouldn\u2019t last as long, or longer, than our comparable pairs of Mucks and Bogs.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HISEA:<\/strong> You won\u2019t find a ton of bells and whistles from <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/43grc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HISEA<\/a>.

Like triple rubber toe reinforcement, quadruple rubber heel reinforcement, and a steel shank for structural support. If a heavy duty boot is what you\u2019re after, then Muck might be your best bet. But, as noted above, these tough qualities tend to detract from their overall comfort. Plus, Muck misses on some features that both HISEA and Bogs offer like the heel step tab and the handles at the top. Their 5mm neoprene lining claims a comfort rating to \u201csub-freezing\u201d temps plus they offer their own breathable mesh lining.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bogs:<\/strong> Bogs offer the thickest neoprene lining at 7mm and are rated down to -40\u00b0F. This is a big advantage over HISEA and Muck, especially if you\u2019re in a colder climate. A separate breathable inner lining helps wick away moisture. They offer a nylon shank in the midsole for support and stability. Grip handles are available in both their women\u2019s and men\u2019s boot lineups, which is a nice touch. And many of their boots also offer the heel step tab for hands free removal.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">*WINNER* <\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>BOGS<\/strong>\u2014by a slight edge. All three companies claim to be 100% waterproof, which we have found to be accurate. If price is factored in, I\u2019d probably give that edge to HISEA, who still offers many of the same design features at a highly reduced price.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And some of the Pros\/Cons in this category should be weighed alongside your personal use and application. For instance, I personally like that my <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/43grc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HISEA<\/a> boots are not as thickly lined since I wear them all year long,&nbsp; and they\u2019re comfortable even during the summer months. During the winter, I can always add an extra layer of socks if needed. Or, if you\u2019re doing really heavy duty farm projects all the time, then Muck boots might be the right option for you.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Socks<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#6f727a\"><em>Yes, we\u2019re including a &#8220;Socks&#8221; category! As we\u2019ve found out, not all brands of farm boots play nicely with socks.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HISEA:<\/strong> After several months of heavy testing, our <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/43grc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HISEA<\/a> boots have not worn through any pairs of socks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Muck:<\/strong> One winter while wearing my Muck Chore Boots, I completely ran out of socks and had to purchase more. The boots were wearing through the heel of my socks at an alarming rate. Nearly a pair a week! I\u2019ve since seen other reviews of Muck boots that both the heel inside the boot and the heel of accompanying socks can quickly wear through. This may have been somewhat unique to my foot and how I walk\/wear them. But sending some 15 pairs of socks with giant holes in them to the trash that were in otherwise good condition is not cost effective any way you slice it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/socks-with-holes-worn-in-the-heels-from-muck-boots.jpg\" alt=\"socks with holes worn in the heels from muck boots\" class=\"wp-image-3422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/socks-with-holes-worn-in-the-heels-from-muck-boots.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/socks-with-holes-worn-in-the-heels-from-muck-boots-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/socks-with-holes-worn-in-the-heels-from-muck-boots-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/socks-with-holes-worn-in-the-heels-from-muck-boots-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/socks-with-holes-worn-in-the-heels-from-muck-boots-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/socks-with-holes-worn-in-the-heels-from-muck-boots-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/socks-with-holes-worn-in-the-heels-from-muck-boots-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/socks-with-holes-worn-in-the-heels-from-muck-boots-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/socks-with-holes-worn-in-the-heels-from-muck-boots-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/socks-with-holes-worn-in-the-heels-from-muck-boots-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/socks-with-holes-worn-in-the-heels-from-muck-boots-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/socks-with-holes-worn-in-the-heels-from-muck-boots-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/socks-with-holes-worn-in-the-heels-from-muck-boots-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/socks-with-holes-worn-in-the-heels-from-muck-boots-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">15 or so pairs of socks with worn out heels from Muck Chore boots.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bogs:<\/strong> We have had no sock casualties with our Bogs to report of.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">*WINNER*<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HISEA &amp; Bogs. Really, Muck just gets a big red X in this category. Maybe they\u2019ve resolved this design flaw or it won\u2019t be an issue for you. But it\u2019s been enough for me to want to move on from my Muck Chore Boots.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looks<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HISEA:<\/strong> The lineup <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/43grc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HISEA<\/a> offers is bare bones. There\u2019s no getting around it. Their boots are not going to be the most stylish out there. Nor will you find the biggest selection (we actually found this somewhat refreshing). That said, they still look like a well-built farm boot. And they do offer a decent variety of different colors and patterns. There are some especially cute options in their Women\u2019s Barn Boots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Muck:<\/strong> My older Muck boots look on par with my HISEA replacements. But Muck has since upped their game and now offers boots that have a somewhat improved aesthetic to them. If you expand beyond their farm lineup, Muck does offer pretty stylish footwear options. Overall, I give them a slight advantage over HISEA in looks, but not by much.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bogs:<\/strong> In my mind, Bogs steal the show when it comes to appearance. Their boots just look cool. And they offer the largest selection of designs and patterns if you\u2019re looking for something a little more fashionable\u2014primarily in their women\u2019s boots. While their standard Tall Work Boots look better than both the HISEA and Muck equivalent, there\u2019s only so much you can do to add some flare to a work boot.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/waterproof-farm-boots-from-bogs.jpg\" alt=\"waterproof farm boots from bogs\" class=\"wp-image-3423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/waterproof-farm-boots-from-bogs.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/waterproof-farm-boots-from-bogs-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/waterproof-farm-boots-from-bogs-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/waterproof-farm-boots-from-bogs-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/waterproof-farm-boots-from-bogs-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/waterproof-farm-boots-from-bogs-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/waterproof-farm-boots-from-bogs-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/waterproof-farm-boots-from-bogs-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/waterproof-farm-boots-from-bogs-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/waterproof-farm-boots-from-bogs-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/waterproof-farm-boots-from-bogs-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/waterproof-farm-boots-from-bogs-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/waterproof-farm-boots-from-bogs-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/waterproof-farm-boots-from-bogs-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">*WINNER*<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bogs.<\/strong> If I were choosing boots based on looks alone, I\u2019d choose Bogs every time.

Their commitment to quality over profit. Their overall footprint and environmental impact. Simply put, their values.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HISEA:<\/strong> When perusing the <a href=\"https:\/\/shrsl.com\/43gro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HISEA About Page<\/a>, their values statements are simple and straightforward. Their goal is high quality and competitive outdoor footwear at affordable prices with exceptional customer service and warranty. They also clearly state that their products are designed in the US and manufactured in the Caribbean and Southeast Asia. No mention is made of the sustainability of their materials or the practices of their suppliers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Muck:<\/strong> Mucks marketing wants to capture the essence of hardworking, rural America and offering equally hardworking, protective, and productive boots. Since I couldn\u2019t find it on their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muckbootcompany.com\/pages\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>, I needed to do a <a href=\"https:\/\/allamerican.org\/investigation\/muck-boots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google search<\/a> to discover most of their products are made in China. Evidently Muck started as an American made boot company, but switched to being made in China when purchased by Honeywell. To me, this doesn\u2019t exactly line up with the American pride message they convey. There also is no noteworthy commitment to sustainable sourcing or practices on Muck\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bogs:<\/strong> Bogs carries a different tune when it comes to values. Each <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bogsfootwear.com\/shop\/style\/73035-001.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">boot<\/a> comes with a promise that they are actively seeking to lower their carbon \u201cbootprint\u201d by using the best practices in the industry. Their sustainability efforts include algae-based EVA footbeds, Yulex natural rubber that is sustainably harvested, and factories that minimize waste by using as much as 40% post-industrial recycled material. Like Muck, Bogs also does not make it clear on their website where their products are manufactured. Their Oregon-based headquarters handles the designs and they do make it clear that Supply Chain Transparency is a value. Google tells me their boots are manufactured in the Dominican Republic and China. I did find one article from 2012 that Bogs was exploring an Oregon-based manufacturing option but nothing seems to have materialized.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">*WINNER*<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bogs.<\/strong> They are clearly leading the pack in sustainably sourced materials and production methods for their boots. Though, it is still a major disappointment to me that, while these companies supply working footwear to the heartbeat of rural America, none of them offer any American-made boot options.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Favorite Farm Boots??<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So who is our overall winner and what boot company will we be supporting?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HISEA!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have nothing against Muck or Bogs\u2014except maybe the sock thing with Mucks :).
