wtnhunt Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Never bought muck boots, always seemed a little over priced to me for what they are. Think we will stick with cabelas branded boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Talk about an epic screw up by a hunting company! The internet is blowing up on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 That is so obviously stupid to post I wonder if whomever did it did it intentionally. I have a couple pair and they're great boots. Won't be buying another pair if this holds true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 My brother got a pair of Mucks and never really cared for them. I got a simple pair of green Lacrosse Burleys last year and they have been one of the best boots I have ever owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Use to wear Mucks...still have a pair. Lacrosse seem to hold up better...got a pair of Bogs, really comfy but already holes in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Was almost going to get a pair, NOT NOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Yep...the net is going nuts over this! Found this on another forum that said it was a response from Much Boots about the facebook post. We would like to respond to our loyal customers and provide additional information about recent posts on social media regarding a monetary donation to a local animal care organization. Our post inaccurately stated that a donation was made to The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). Moreover, the post itself was inappropriate under the circumstances. Family members of an employee who recently passed away requested that, in lieu of flowers, co-workers donate funds to the Humane Association of Northwestern Rhode Island, a local association founded in 1978 to solve community issues primarily related to stray cats. They are not affiliated with HSUS as the posts incorrectly stated. The money is not a corporate donation, but a collection of personal contributions from employees with the intent of remembering a beloved co-worker. While our intentions were good, the use of corporate social channels under these circumstances was inappropriate. Muck Boots has a heritage of respect for the outdoors and for nature. We apologize for the anger and confusion the posts have caused and have removed them from our social channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Thanks for posting the muck facebook reply Al. Dunno if that is just damage control effort or if the story is legit. Sure would be stupid for anyone in any position at that company to make such an ignorant decision. Would seem the story could be verified and the hsus donors could be verified if someone wanted to take their time really digging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Man, that's crazy. I can't imagine Muck would align themselves with HSUS in any way since a majority of their business is from outdoorsmen. I believe they even sponsor a few hunting shows. I have two pairs and actually love them, but if there is any truth to this I won't be buying anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
