My experience with Hunter and Le Chameau was that neither had good traction, especially on wet, mossy ledge. Also, blisters on the heel so never again.</p> <p>Non adjustable shoes do not fit my low volume, small heeled feet well.</p> <p>Duck boots were a little better but it's difficult to find ones that are sturdy and also flexible enough to be comfortable.</p> <p>My first choice would be Gore Tex trail shoes or sneakers and veering off the trail wherever the height of the shoe will not be sufficient. This has worked very well for me even in snow as long as I am not the first person on the trail! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rain-mud-boot-recommendations#post-2340032 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 15:02:56 +0000 Roberta 2340032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A good friend had a pair of Bogs and swore by them.

(Through some stroke of luck, i ended up being away most of the summer for the first time in many years, or I would have been suffering the puddles right alongside you!)</p> <p>I’ve had quite a few Bogs and Muck boots over the years. They’re a bit clunky but they do the job. I have my eye on deck boots from Xtratuf or Grundens — preferred footwear of many commercial fisherman! And I feel like the ankle height will make them more wearable for me, especially for travel when I’m loathe to pack full-height rainboots but often regret not having a truly waterproof shoe. They also have leather versions with a waterproof membrane for a more “around town” style, which would fill a serious wardrobe hole for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rain-mud-boot-recommendations#post-2340019 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 12:17:40 +0000 salt-sea 2340019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great advice! </p> <p>I’ll pass on the Hunters - I agree, Jenni, it’s probably due to Kate Moss at Glastonbury, and I’m not sure she and I have the same ideas on comfort!</p> <p>I am indeed looking for something for tromping through the countryside, dog by my side. </p> <p>I think I’ll order the Muck boots, in the chevron, since they are available and have free returns. If those don’t suit I’ll try some of the other options. </p> <p>I knew I’d get excellent suggestions from this lovely community - I appreciate your thoughtfulness in regard to detail, quality and versatility. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rain-mud-boot-recommendations#post-2340015 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 11:28:47 +0000 Janet 2340015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gotta say, these are kinda cute for what they are.

Not comfy for country walks with the dog like in the pictures and the buckle broke too easily. I’ve been making do with duck boots for camping. Also not that comfy. The soles on rainboots are just too thin. If I could rally, I’d check out a feed store, but I have fears farm boots aren’t really different and that farmers are just stoic, lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rain-mud-boot-recommendations#post-2340000 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 03:15:27 +0000 Zaeobi 2340000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use FitFlop wellies for my wide feet (I own both the tall &amp; short versions in a UK6, since I'm a Uk5.5 D/E width).

It's also important to get the shaft height right. Some of them are too tall for my own short legs, but that would not necessarily be a problem for you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Bog is another brand to look at.

I got them when we had a cattle ranch in Texas, and I’m glad I kept them. They are great for just the kind of situation you describe.

These are not for city wear, but for camping and wet walks. There are some camping situations we are in where when we get heavy rain I’m finding my existing footwear is not suitable. A few times camping in Vermont this summer the mud was inches deep after heavy rain, and took a few days to dry out. I’m now on the way to another camping weekend that will start out with 2-3” of rain before clearing up. This very rainy summer and now fall have driven the need to find better rain &amp; mud suitable footwear home for me. I have a pair of crocs (the holes make them not good for wet conditions) and a pair of waterproof garden shoes (not high enough to protect against deep mud and too low cut to keep rain from getting in). My hiking boots, while purportedly waterproof, aren’t easy to clean mud from.<br /> I’d like to find something that is comfortable enough to walk a few miles in, has good traction and is easy to hose off. I have high arches and like a wide toe box. They don’t need to be super warm, in fact since this is a three season need I would rather they not be insulated. I’ve been looking at these, from Le Chameau, Hunter, and Merry People. I think I will have to order any candidates as I haven’t seen any of these in stores. Where else should I be looking? Farm supply stores? Thanks for any suggestions you have. </p>
