Does anyone know a brand name, so I can do a search on google or ebay or something? The only boots I've been able to find are overly heavy-duty with steel reinforced toes and shit. Like for firemen. I don't need those - -just the plain old rubber ones for walking around in pastures when it's really muddy.
I made the mistake recently of walking in a muddy pasture with those "closed clog" type shoes. When I went to take a step, my shoe got stuck in the mud, and my foot came flying out and landed in a squishy pond of mud. As I turned around to retrieve my shoe, my other foot came out of its shoe, so I was standing ankle deep in sock feet in a veritable swamp of mud -- undoubtedly with a little horse poo thrown in, but I'm not prepared to think about that yet. Anyway, that's an experience I'd rather not repeat, so please, people, help a gal out!

Check out the boots page here - this is a UK company but I think you can get these in Canada readily. Are the olive green ones what you are looking for? They call them "country boots" here, but my mother used to call them "green wellies".

If they are what you are looking for, it might be easier to do a google search with those terms.
