Yeh they do great in mud and sloppy conditions. Yes as NZCaver said.. they are waterproof to the top. The inside is made of the same thing kinda just like a bootie? if ya understand me lol. I think thats why when they are full of water they still keep your feet rather warm compared to other boots. They make so many different types. You should really check them out if you want a great warm waterproof boot. The 16" Wetlands i have are 5mm.

I have the Wetlands also. I have been caving in them for four years now. IMO, they are a superior caving boot.
The only problem I have found with them is that they float. When you swim with them it is hard to keep your feet underwater.

The neoprene is waterproof right to the top. I used a pair of Muck Boots for years for caving. Still have them somewhere. The newer versions have better tread for muddy caves than the older ones.

cavemud2 wrote:MUCK Boots!! I love em. I made fun of all my buddies for years for wearing them beacause I always saw them with their pants legs tucked into them..that just looked so goofy to me for some reason.Well i tried a pair of my buddies on after a caving trip and was amazed at how warm and snug these felt. So i found a pair that was on sale (85$!! thats a deal for these) and picked them up. I have ditched my rockys now thats for sure.These are about the only thing I wear anymore.They come in different heights and thickness. These are great boots to cave in. Great traction, they are dry and very warm, and even when they are full from wading waist deep water, these keep your feet pretty warm. I now have a few pair because they are so easy for on and off, and great for out working in the mud on the farm.
