As a gardner, I just had to Google to see what duck boots are. Certainly are pricey at L.L. Bean. I see Kohl's has a cheaper $26.99 version. I get cheap clog type shoes at K-mart as I'm always getting into the mud & just got a pair of thigh high flower print vinyl boots for $14.00 at Target.
At Kohl's for $26.99
