I have and love a pair of Muck Boots Hoser boots. Like the Jobber, they have the firm rubber bottom 'shoe' part but the stretchy wet-suit material extends up to the mid-calf. This makes them both comfy and really easy to slip on and off. There's no fuss - just pull on and go. Also, the insole is removable (a plus for people like me who have orthotic inserts).
I use them to keep my feet warm and dry in wet, muddy, dirty, slushy, snowy conditions. Like any closed footwear they can be a tad hot in the middle of the summer, but for cooler temps they are fine. They are not super-insulated, so I wear one or two thick warm (preferably wool) socks in very cold conditions or if I'm using them a long time out in the snow.
I have hiked in them, but mostly I use them as my regular winter boots. They're not fancy but they work! They're completely waterproof, so I never have to worry about walking through slush or mud puddles. These are practical, comfortable, reliable boots - go get yourself a pair!

Muck Boots are impervious to water, so they won’t breakdown like leather when wet. When the mud sticks to the bottom and sides of the boots, there’s no need to knock them together or against a wall to try and rid the mud or muck. Water and some water pressure will remove any mud that does adhere. Just let them air dry and they are as good as new.
