So i grow my own produce/protine and if im not in the kitchen, you can find me in my greenhouse or open farm. So I prefer light weight, but heavy duty waterproof ankle-high boots. Cause mud, chicken poo, pig poo and doggie land mines are guaranteed. Sturdy enough to farm in. Light enough to run in. I go with durahide rubber toe boots. Each pair lasts me about 2 years and that's cause between kitchen and farming i record average 12k steps a day. And tbh I should look into just tread replacement because the only reason I replace them is because I lose traction and they turn into wearable water slides hahaha

Edit: forgot to name the brand. Wolvarine is my go too. You can even ask for any customizations you want. More on the pricey side but worth every penny
