I don’t have any other suggestions. Sorry!

With three dogs and walking them everyday you need a pair of reliable rubber boots/wellies…
I have a Le Chameau Chasseur leather lined and wear them all year round. If a more insulated one is required, there is a neoprene lined available too. Price is high but they are the most comfortable boots on the market and they last a long long time...

Man that’s a great pic! Boots look good too.

Speaking of impermeable footwear, in my case of the clodhopper variety, I picked up some Sorels finally after having lived in snowy realms for a decade and a half. Even though they look kind of ridiculous, almost like snowboard boots and duck boots had a baby while taking steroids, they certainly make you feel invincible in the snow. The removable liners are a nice touch if they ever did somehow get wet inside.

I don't think Sorels look that bad to be honest. I have a pair of North Face Chilkat boots that I only wear when we get blizzard conditions. My complaint with North Face boots is that the shaft isn't quite as tall as Sorels so they end up digging into the back of my calf. My North Face boots would undoubtedly last me for the rest of my life but if I had to get a new pair i'd likely get Sorels

Thanks for your suggestions @Brock , @Chap , @mclaincausey and @gaseousclay . Quite a range of boot types. I’ll read up on them and hopefully make up my mind.
I lean towards a plain rubber boot without laces, zipper or cinch straps. Want them to be super easy to clean up with a hose upon finishing work in a muddy, deep corral. At the same time, my aging feet need a comfortable and supportive footbed.
I’ll probably pester everybody here a few more times. -
What about The Muck Boot Company ….......... @motojobobo ?
The Core Cool is lightweight, has a steel shank, a Vibram Sole and can be optimized with orthopedic insoles.

Anybody here like Merrell or Salomon? Just recently bought a pair of Merrell Jungle Moc Beeeze for summer shoes.

Merrells Jungle Moc Breeze I bought from the store AFEW a couple days ago. Couldn’t find this model except in Japan. just something different I guess. Comfy.

Had a PayPal balance from a while back so I used it to pick up a pair of these Thursday sneaks. Really like the Horween cacao waxed flesh and the construction on these is insane for the price. Not a fan of the new Vans since they changed and made them narrower so I wanted to try a new alternative to my boots. Fully stitched sole with an actual leather lasting board, no fiberboard crap. These are just as comfy as my old vans Sk8 hi Pros and only cost $50 more.
