Reading the company's response, it looks like they mucked up(pun intended), learned and apologized. All of the money is going to a local shelter. Seems to me like a non-issue now but if they ever did it again I wouldn't ever buy their boots.

This happened about a month or so ago on Facebook. Personally there are other options out there and they ruined it for me. They changed there tune 3 different times thru the deal.

But, but , but , the professor said this would work! Why is everyone jumping on us??? The professor told me that there are more city people than country people and they would jump on an opportunity to help the animals!!!

Mark, I liked your Subaru truck!!! Lmao

[mark]

I would burn them! But i would of never bought em in the first place. Unless you drive a Subaru or milk cows for a living i see no use for them, not enough traction on the Speed Bark!!!!!

A few days ago we made a series of mistakes here and on our other social media channels. Words can’t express how sorry we are that we’ve caused so much disappointment in our brand. There’s been a lot of speculation as to what happened, and clearly our initial statement caused even more confusion.

While we’ve been quiet here, please know that we’ve been reading every one of your comments and I want to personally address your concerns.

Here’s exactly what happened…we suffered the loss of a colleague a few months ago. Our colleague had a long fight with cancer and had a cat that was by his side until the very end. Because of that, his family requested that -- in lieu of flowers -- donations by employees, not the company, be made to a local animal shelter in his honor. The Humane Association of Northwestern Rhode Island (HANRI) was identified as our local shelter; it’s about ten miles from our office in Smithfield, Rhode Island.

Here are the mistakes we made: first, we posted photos on our Facebook page and on Instagram of an employee-sponsored collection effort in our warehouse, which was disrespectful to our colleague and completely inappropriate. Despite our good intent, we should never have used these corporate channels for what was a private matter. Then, we incorrectly tagged Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) in the posts, when the money was actually intended for our local animal shelter. And finally, when the statement went up in an attempt to clarify the events, the money hadn’t yet been delivered, because the funds were still being collected. Cash and personal checks were hand-delivered yesterday by the same employees who raised the funds.

Needless to say, our entire team has learned some hard lessons this week.

We know it is you, our customers, who have helped build the Muck Boot brand to what it is today. We would never intentionally alienate you, and we sincerely apologize if we have done so this past week. We’ve worked hard over the years to build quality footwear and to build a brand that is broadly trusted – we hope that you’ll give us a chance to earn back that trust.

Farmers, outdoor enthusiasts and sportsmen are among our most loyal customers and at the core of what we do and why we do it. You can continue to count on us for the very best footwear and to never forget who we work for – you, our customers.

— Sean O’Brien, director of footwear, Muck Boots.

Well, ha ha Mark! after that response I'll wear them out!! Don't work at a Dairy either!! Just live in Oregon.

Blue said, you really like Subaru's! But you like sheep better than cows, cause it is too far around to kiss 'em !!

[mark]

Thats how it all starts. You and Blue eating quiche for a couple years then dove hunting and wearing mucks, before you know it you will be golfing with Obama and dancing with Hillary

[Varminator]

At this point "What Does It Matter" !!!

Blue, sounds like Mark trying to move us away from Shig and Shog! And I thought Old Dog would be the one to try and steal the girls???

[Varminator]

All BS aside, I will not buy anymore Muck's! Local animal shelter my arse!!
