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!

I just bought a pair at WalMart in anticipation of the repaving of my street. I think that they were in the hunting/fishing/mucking around section of the store.
The people on the other side of the block have been going through the repaving for about four months now, and they all reccomended buying ugly, knee high rubber boots and keeping all of your other shoes in the car, because we'll be trudging through the mud as soon as they start tearing up the street. Their street is almost done, and it looks really good, but the process of tearing up the three feet of asphalt, half a foot of brick and all of the utilities is long and frustrating. Fortunately, the cesspool in front of my house that stays for two weeks every time it rains is a constant reminder that it will be a Good Thing when the street is repaved.
