I've been wearing duck boots for 30 years. Great for working in the garden. Mine are about shot and I can't find them anywhere. I wear the ones with 5 eyelets. No insulation.
Although I do wear them in the winter, the insulation would be too hot to wear gardening. I've searched on the internet for all the stores I can think of. I have found the loafers, and the tall ones. Any other gardeners here wear duck boots? Duck boots have a waterproof foot with a leather top. Thanks. :D |
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 http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/homepage.jsp;jsessionid=FGPVNsQL8JSyt6f0yQTYp0WVx2FPThpf08nBGs cjL3xG7DhLLQTf!-339907350!2120801230 Found these at Gap: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do...6rlz%3D1I7ADBF At Target: http://www.target.com/Merona-Zabby-D.../dp/B003NSZ8IU |
Thanks Donna Jean,
I searched Kohls and didn't come across any.(?) I'll check again. I can't wear the regular rubber boots my feet sweat too bad. When it gets realllllyyyy hot I do switch to sneakers. I searched Kohls website, they only carry the winter insualted boot, not the 'real' duck boot. |
Our local Tractor Supply store has boots but they call them "mucking out" boots. They have thick soles and are a heavy rubber and canvas. I wear mine all year round when it's snowy or muddy. If you don't have a Tractor Supply chain store in your area, try some of the farm supply stores. Good luck.

Couldn't get a picture, sorry.
Search L.L. Bean website, search 'womans duck boot'. Its item # CX175062, about half way down the page. (6 inch boot) They are expensive $80.00, but they last forever. Great for gardening in the spring/summer and also in the winter. |
Nah, I know what Duck Boots look like.
I wanna see a pic of those THIGH HIGH FLOWER PRINT VINYL BOOTS that Donnajean bought. :mrgreen: |
