Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As a flower farmer in the northeast, the need for waterproof footwear is ever present. Spring through fall, in particular, requires daily use of a waterproof boot to keep feet dry in early morning dew, seasonal rains, and SLOGGING through garden plots to harvest. Many boots in years past have not even made it through one season. Some have been like suction cups to get off sweaty feet, others fit weird in the foot bed or were too tight for my ample calves. In short, I pretty much buy a new pair every season because the previous pair is unsatisfactory for one reason or another. Not only is the USA made feature a big plus, but also the choice of pattern from plain to playful to stylish let's the wearer express herself without sacrificing comfort. These are still in their first season so I can't speak to their durability yet. Even much heavier rubber boots (which I thought would wear like iron) haven't survived my farm because they get brittle and split in stress areas, like where the ball of the foot flexes. Because these boots are soft, flexible, and lightweight, I can wear them all day if need be, without regrets. I am very particular about footwear and consider myself the Imelda Marcos of farmlife footwear (not only do I own a lot of shoes, I really put them to the test as well), so to have a pair of boots like these Sloggers that I can only say good things about so far, is saying something for this product and the company that produces them.
