Mudee L2

Comfortable Leather Boot

These are my second pair of Mudee L boots. I sized down a half size from last pair and achieved better fit. The L2 were comfortable out of the box and did not need much break in. There is plenty of toe room for my narrow foot and I can get a secure fit across the arch. As others have noted, the tongue does bunch up a bit if you cinch down the laces for a tight fit but it has not caused any discomfort for me. One of the boots has a bottom style lace ring installed near the top which looks a little odd but seems to work ok. The gum colored sole looks good and does not show soiling. I have not had occasion to test the water proof properties. Overall I am satisfied with the purchase and hope to get many miles out of them.

Just the right amount of sole, but Thick tongue and a little wide

These seem well made and my number one requirement is that they be waterproof and so far they are. I live in an area that should have a lot of rain (but we don’t at the moment as we are suffering a drought), but still have a lot of dew in the mornings. Enough that it will soak shoes, socks and pants when out walking through the woods and meadows, which I do every morning. Also, my walks are not on paths, but cross country over roots, etc., so I like a little extra protection than some barefoot shoes provide, but not so much I lose the ground contact. These hit that sweet spot nicely. What I don’t like about them is the width and tongue. Even though I like a wide toe box, my feet are rather narrow, and Mudee L2 is a little wide for me. And my biggest complaint is the tongue. It is so thick and the way it is sewn in makes it very hard to tuck in between the two sides of the uppers. So the tongue just bunches up. It is quite unsightly, although the deer and turkeys don’t care (these are not town shoes), but it can be a little uncomfortable and makes it hard to really snug down the laces.

Great True Barefoot Boot!

Best boots ever! So glad to finally find a true foot shaped "barefoot" boot! Soft broken in leather right out the box. Hope they offer a solid rubber outsole in the future instead of the nodes outsole. Regardless, will buy again!
