Mid Calf Gardening & Workboots

FLEXIBILTY. You need to bend and squat. The height of the boot is optional providing it is flexible.
STRENGTH. A steel lugg under the arch and vulcanised rubber will last. Particularly for digging.
WATERPROOF. You need a quality rubber with insulating lining. SOLE GRIP. Essential if you are on slippery grass or mud.
COMFORT. If you are standing or wearing them for hours - arch support is a plus.
VENTILATION. If you find that gardening is strenuous, ventilation that neoprene lined boots provide is an advantage.
WARMTH. Even hosing can be chilly in winter. Neoprene insulates as well. Fashion gumboots? well that's a different story:)
