Shopping for a pair of Muck boots for a ?19 moose hunt. How is their sizing, should they fit a little loose or have a tight fit like lace up 8-9 inch boots?
 
If you are hunting AK I would suggest quality hip boots over mucks. JMHO

Love my Muck boots, and for standing around or wading in the rivers when fishing, they are great. The stated sizing is actually a little off - I normally take a 11.5 to 12 Medium hiking boot, and my Mucks are labeled as 11M. The fit is perfect for hiking. Mine are rated to -60 degrees and are wonderful in mud, snow, on river rocks, etc. That said, they are definitely at a disadvantage when the water starts to get deeper. Splashes up onto your pants rapidly results in wet legs, unless you have really tall gaiters. Creeks with just a trickle have a way of turning into torrents over night in the mountains, when it rains.

I would get a pair of Lacrosse hip boots, either the Trapper or Big Chief, which will fit tighter and provide ankle support.. They have a nice lining (better than the base model canvas) and removable foot pads so you can dry them easier....The insulated Big Chief even has Air-Bob soles for better traction.
