How will these work for walking across soft marshy areas with thick mud where wearing regular boots I sink maybe 6-8 inches?

Probably better than warm packy snow. Should work well. I am very eased with them

I've had them about a month. Like the comments below, they are not heavy duty, but they are made pretty well. I use them when I ride 4 wheelers on the weekend. We ride in the woods and mud. I've been knee deep in mud and they haven't leaked yet. Sticks and briars hit them all the time and they haven't picked or torn yet. The best way I can describe the fabric above the boot is a silky nylon, medium thickness. I don't worry about abusing them with what I use them for, but you might with beaver dam busting.

Probably (they aren't any thicker than a thick pair of cotton socks), but it will be hard to slide your feet into the boots because they are made of rubber and will be sticky.

I didn't buy them for wearing anywhere except to bed in the winter. For that they work GREAT! How they would hold up in boots is iffy. They seem a bit to 'fluffy' for much hard wearing. I would try it but would wear thin 'wicking' socks under them.

Yes, they work great for deep water walking. I use them routinely for that! They make for a great workout.

Not really sure.I would think that sand would get in them and be uncomfortable but they do sloe pretty tight. They hold water i know that and your feet do get a little water logged i assume the same with sand minus the water log.

I have used them on ice/mud/gravel mix and they should be fine for mud/gravel only. You can also try shoes that have a Five Ten Stealth (sticky) Rubber sole. I have used some from the Five Ten company that are great on stream crossings, mix of snow/rain/mud/gravel while hiking.

I wear these everyday in my boots and have not had an issue with dampness. I believe the term you're looking for is moisture wicking. Your socks, foot characteristics, and shoe material will also play a role in transferring moisture.

Primary function is a fishing\wading boot. While I comfortably walk 2-5 miles in mine when fishing, they were not designed for that purpose

The great thing about Sloggers is the ease of slipping them on and off at the door -- no need to worry about mud being tracked in. Once the mud dries slapping the soles together would probably dislodge any dirt. I don't think I would worry -and certainly can't imagine washing them in my washing machine!

These go inside of a pair of boots - I use Hodgeman felt bottom boots for traction. I use them for fishing in rivers on the Oregon coast in Fall and Winter and the water can be quite cold. They seem to be waterproof to me although we use them more for wading in and out of the water not standing thigh deep for hours at a time so I don't know about extended time under water.

Wader boots do not pull off in the mud. That said, for cold-water duck hunting I prefer regular boot footed waders. You can get lots of warm socks on without the pressure points and toe "scrunching" that you get with wading boots. There are straps that you can buy to help keep boot footed waders from pulling off in the mud.

No. They are designed to keep water out below top level of boots. The strap at the top will tighten to keep boots snug, not water tight.

Whatever size you would normally buy get the same size in these they are true to size.If you take a 9 gaet a 9 and there will still be enough for a thick pair of socks.They come up to the back of my knee just at the bend. I love mine but they are hard to get off,I would recommend a boot puller to make it easier. Enjoy your trip

I'm not sure if they would stay in place underwater. You could walk on them barefoot.

These will NOT fit any wading boot. It will fit stocking foot waders. These are adjustable for any size foot and they are great. Great distance per stroke.
