Thread bump.
I still like my Mucks for what they are ... literal farm work boots in the mud and muck.
I think I'm about to pull the trigger on a pair of Bean boots when fall weather hits to wear on nasty days. The Mucks are suited for every day use, and having been ankle deep in poop, I probably shouldn't wear them to work (even though they hose off really well).
I think a little nicer pair that you don't care to get off the sidewalk with but still aren't filthy would be a good addition.
Bean boots rock and are classy. I use them around town during storms. Super high quality and the refurbishment is spectacular. I use Lacrosse boots similar to Muck boots for bow hunting and serious swamp walks.
