Right or wrong, here are my "work boots". Comfortable, solid traction, and in the rain. These boots do everything I need. It's what I turn to when I don't want to mess up my "nice" boots.



Issued uniform boots. I oil them. I add a coat of polish to help water bead off. We are issued boots every year. And these are the cheapest ones to win the the bid. They only need to last 1 year. But in fact, last several years.


I like nice boots. But I will always have uniform boots for bad weather.

I was a Landscape Gardener for nearly 30 years although when I got degree abd qualifications in Landscape design I did less of the graft, still liked a decent pair of boots though, went through a few pairs, and a few before health and safety said you had to have steel toes, once broke my big toe railway sleeper on my shoulder slipped, hit the toes and hammered it haha, I like a good pair of roughed up boots though old style with a pair of jeans cuffed up
