Mine are too hard. I have to cut the top out. They are like clogs or hard crocs with no holes. kinda hate them. I like the ideas given here.I am a full time gardener, tired of having wet feet. Suggestions for comfortable, waterproof ankle boots. Don't like rubber boots as they don't breath. Hope someone out there has found the perfect boot.
I have worn Red Wing work boots since I had my first job at a mechanics shop at the age of 14. I buy 3 or 4 pairs of boots a year and never wear a pair 2 days in a row. The boots I order are $219 bucks and the last 2 pairs have been clunkers. Just not as comfortable as I am accustomed to. I work on concrete most of the time and walk a lot, often carrying around 10 or 15 pounds. What are you guys doing for boots these days?Waterproof?
Reminds me iof when I was the manager of a large department store.
I needed to speak to the manageress of the shoe deparment, as I approached her she was talking to a female customer complaining about a pair of fashion shoes she'd purchased, as they leaked.
Her response was, "Madam, the only footwear we guarantee as waterproof are Wellington boots."
I've had these since April, which cost £29.99 on eBay (list £39.99 on the "Town & Country" web site) but the heels wore through as they are a very soft neoprene.

I've recently replaced them with these, which cost £16.99, they are of a stiffer neoprene but the soles are thicker.

They are very comfortable, I need a shoehorn to get them on but they give more support than the others. I don't have a prioblem with them not "breathing" if they did water could get in.
Worth buying a couple of pairs at that price and changing them over during the day, if it's a problem.
I've also a pair of Dickies waterproof work boots with the safety toe caps, but rarely use them as they are a pain to put on.
I wear this for work and it’s pretty comfy for me. Since waterproof, I wear it when I’m doing garden work.

Not sure of "breathable" but if you go to a store that carries boots for horse folks those boots are very waterproof. I have a pair of them.Is there such a thing as waterproof leather breathable boots that actually do keep feet dry?![]()
