I'm sorry if this rains on your parade, but . . .
The old saying that "you kill birds with your boots" is true. It's also true that, in my experience, Muck boots (and all of their competitors) are awesome for light walking over short-medium distances and super good for sitting (like in a treestand or a boat). But for miles of walking over rolling or mountainous terrain, you need lace up boots. I've never owned a pair of rubber boots that wouldn't eat my feet after a mile or two of walking in up and down conditions. The steeper the terrain, the faster they create blisters. Unless you happen to be lucky and have feet that are exactly the right size to match the way they are sized, you're going to have issues trying to do a lot of walking in rubber boots. And even if you do get lucky on the fit, I still don't think they will provide enough stability to keep your feet from shifting in them on side-hills.
I have Muck brand boots and love them. But like most things, they are the proper tool for a specific set of situations. Mucks should be great for training and the dog park (less walking). For hunting, my suggestion is to buy a good pair of waterproof lace-ups and enjoy your hunt. If you plan to ride an ATV until your dogs go on point, then jump off, flush, and shoot, go with the Mucks
