V12 Footwear MukGuard Reviews

Video transcript

Hi guys. I've been sent these by Tool Talk, the V12, MukGuard over shoes. You can see.

So I instal air conditioning and I'd probably say 80% of my work is in houses. So normally we'd probably take off our shoes or wear the cheap plastic over ones, but these, far better quality and you get nice little hook with them. Pretty stretchy and they're sort of like the same sort of material that you get from sort of wetsuits. So they do stretch quite a bit and you can quite easily slip them on and off over your boots. And also they are washable. So I've been using these probably for a couple of days now, and they haven't really got much wear to them and they are far better quality, I would say, compared to your typical plastic ones. As I said, it is quite nice that you get a little hook with them. So, I would probably typically have them just hooked on to my tool bag. So I like that, so that I can just have them on and off from working in the house. Size wise they are pretty good. They're typically just your standard size. I think that they make the extra judgement on that.

It does say reusable, washable, and excellent grip and abrasive resistance. So if you are sort of in a house that the flooring hasn't been done yet, and you can't wear your boots, these would still be able to be perfect to use. As I said, that the stitching on them is really good. They are quite robust. And to be honest, for the money that they are considering they are reusable, they probably would be a pretty good solution for guys that are doing maintenance calls and service work, where you're constantly in different people's houses. But I would highly recommend these, as opposed to just disposable ones.

I'm not sure what other colours they come in, if you can get different ones, but these ones are sort of in like a grey blue colour. And to be honest, they're pretty nice. I mean, I said, branding on them quite discreet. It's quite subtle, but overall I'd highly recommend these for you guys that are going in and out different sort of buildings, different properties, property maintenance, etc. As I said, most of my work is domestic. So having these is perfect because I don't have to take my boots off. I mean, undoing your laces redoing them again, it does take quite a lot of time and it can be a bit awkward when you're speaking to customers and taken off your boots. So if you've got these ready, you can just slip them on and off as you're going in and out. They're pretty perfect for that. So overall, I'd highly recommend these for, as said for most people doing that sort of work, they are pretty robust, but yeah, I highly recommend these for anyone. So they are the Muk Guard V12's. Cheers to that Tool Talk.

Hi guys. My name is Lee, from Uplands Plumbing and Heating, in Swansea. I just want to give you a quick review on a pair of MukGuard overshoe boots, that I was kindly sent a few days ago. So straight to it. The product itself, when it arrived, comes in a little presentation box, as you can see, with a bit of brief instructions on the back, and then pulling it out is simply...

You can see on first inspection, you get a little D clip, metal D clip, which personally I think is a good idea, so you can hook them up somewhere in the van, easy to find, not going to lose them, are you. The product itself seems to be made of a neoprene material. Very similar to like a wetsuit. Got a bit of give, which is good. The stitching, where it's put together, looks sturdy. Again, looks like it's not going to come apart too easy, which is a good thing. Quite deep foot, which is also good for the steel toe caps, which most of us guys wear nowadays.

On the bottom, it's a bit of logo, which I presume also doubles up as an anti-slip feature, stop you're slipping on tiles, wood surfaces, and so forth, when you're on customer's property.

This then brings me on to the negative, unfortunately, and that is that they just don't fit. Well, not these anyway. When I put the order in, it asks you for your shoe size, so I give them my shoe boot size, size 10. Size 9/10, was the one for the dropdown. Select that. I say, when they arrived, tried them on and they just didn't fit, which is obviously a bit disappointing, and obviously a major negative. So I did sort of expect maybe wrongly, that the company would have taken the fact that we're wearing boots, into consideration when making them, but I suppose on reflection, you probably need to look at maybe going up a size. So again, if you're a size 10, you're probably going to have to jump up to 11 or 12. I think if you're probably a size nine, you'd probably get away with them. No problem. But definitely for size 10 guys, if you're wearing boots, like I am, you've got scruffs, then they just don't fit. So, unfortunately, I can't give you what they're like to wear.

I shall be returning mine. See if I can get another size, and then possibly maybe give you a further update. Well, sorry it's a bit short and sweet, but hopefully if nothing else, you've taken on board, the fact that you maybe need to consider going up a size when ordering. Okay. All right. Cheers guys, all the best.

Hi, it's Gareth from Udell Electrical Services here. Just doing a quick review on the MukGuards, a real cool product that we've brought over the last couple of weeks and been trying out. They're basically a neoprene safety cover shoe. We used to use the blue plastic covers but generally find that on the big boots, I wear these safety boots, they don't fit. But this product seems to fit them real good, real nice. Comes a cool handy clip that you can clip to your trousers and walk about with them. And then when you need them, literally take them off, slip them over your boots. Just like that. They fit real easily. And then that means that I can walk around on customer's carpets without worrying I'll get mud everywhere. So definitely a product worth buying.
