Rubber chore boots

[RichZ]

Most of the time, I wear waterproof work boots, but when I'm feeding and watering my livestock, I like to switch to rubber chore boots. I always get my feet wet when I'm rinsing out stock tanks or cleaning out feed buckets, and rubber chore boots are the most water proof foot gear. Yeah, my work boots are water proof, but the chore boots are higher. Plus chore boots give you the best traction on wet surfaces and ice. For years I bought the cheap boots at my feed store or TSC for under $20, and they usually lasted a year until they got holes in them. But the last 2 pair that I bought lasted about 3 months, each pair, so it's not worth buying cheap boots anymore. I was gonna buy a pair of Statesman boots from Agway (they're Bog boot knock offs) but the owner told me that they're not made very well anymore and they won't last much longer than the $20 boots (and they're $65), so I'm trying to decide what to get. I'll look at my feed store and TSC this weekend. The Agway had Bog boots for $85. I'll see how much they are at the feed store and TSC. I'll also check out Muck boots.

I was wondering what everyone else uses for rubber chore boots and what you paid for them.

Thanks.

I too use Bogs. Roy turned me on to them and they feel like walking in tennis shoes.

Bought many pair of cheap boots , and never thought a thing about it . Then for Christmas my wife bought me some Muck boots. I wear them every where, most comfortable boot I have ever wore. A lot more comfortable in varying temperatures to.

Most of us use Tingley overshoes in the greenhouse..about $35

TINGLEY - Workbrutes PVC Overshoes Have Thicker And Deeper Cleats For Better Grip And Longer Wear


Boss ALWAYS wears his insulated camo muck boots every single day...I honestly think he sleeps in them lol!

I wear them a lot and I can get several years out of the Lacross brand. They are not rubber but soft pvc plastic.
The rubber ones will pull my socks down around my heel as they wear. The Lacross boots are reinforced with some kind of synthetic fiber so the inside hardly wears at all.
I have a pair of these too and thier just as good

Have a look at the dunlop purofort. Expensive but very light and durable.

I always have a set of made in USA rubbers. I like the servus brand. I also prefer Grey because they stay cooler. Run about 40$. I also bought a pair of kamik insulated rubber boots. They have a felt liner. Made in Canada, they cost 50$.

For DECADES I wore the USA made real McCoy La Crosse rubber boots with steel yellow toes. They were great, and not cheap. Real good. When they started wearing and leaking I used em for some knocking around here and there until they just more or less fell apart from rot.
Time changed and they either aren't available or knock offs and crappy. I bought a pair of Mucks and won't budge from them. They are great. Keep on Muckin
