Growing up, I always remember my dad calling big fluffy winter boots Muck-a-lucks.
And I? Thought it was my dad being his silly, make-up-names-for-things self. Every single time he said it.
As it turns out?
There is such a thing as “muck-a-lucks”. Except they’re called Muk Luks.
Maybe I was hearing wrong when I was younger, or my memory is clouded.
Regardless, original Muk Luks are made by a company called Reliable of Milwaukee.
How did I stumble across this fascinating fact?
The Mom Reviews is giving away a pair on her blog!
The ones she got to review are colorful and look SO cute and comfy – in this New England winter, I wish I were wearing a pair of my own right now.
I’m more of a plain gal . . . I checked out their website and could definitely see myself kicking around in these, the fluffy cable knit toggle boot in gray.
Yes, if I win these, you’ll likely find me wearing them both in my house, and out!
Head on over to The Mom Reviews and check out how fabulous these sound (not to mention how cute she looks in hers)!
And Dad, although you’ve given me many reasons over the years to question the “authenticity” of some of your terms and phrases, I’m happy to say tell the world that you were quite serious when it came to “muck-a-lucks”. I hope you’ll be able to compliment me when I’m sporting my “won” pair!

I remember hearing that term too, and thought it was some made up slang of the older generations. Nice to know they got it from somewhere.
And I want a pair too!
LOL! Did you go over and enter to win?
ALWAYS TRUST IN YOUR DAD!!!
#1- Free boots. YES.
#2- Feeling inferior that my comment is in plain old English.
#3- I thought they were called "figgy newtons" until I was like 25!
