Dover Saddlery 'Muck' Boots

We had a gloriously wet and rainy couple of days this past weekend.  Lots of blessed moisture that our gardens dearly loved and that almost pulled us out of this year's drought.

Consequently, I spent much of this time mucking around  the garden and about town, in my Dover Saddlery Rubber Boots. (Find them here.)

I've had them for years; I think at least ten or so.
I saw them in an IN STYLE magazine...one of their style-for-less feature products I think.  Around $60.00 for a virtually indestructible pair of equestrian vibe wellies.

I get asked about them a lot - one of my trademark pieces I guess - so I thought I'd share their source with you.  I wear them with everything:  jeans, skirts, leggings. Great for both slogging in the dirt and as a fashion statement...and also for channelling your fourth grade self who undoubtedly was a horse nut...whether or not you had a horse...I didn't :( .

I'm wearing them in this picture and you can see how high up the calf they rise...roomy enough to tuck in even bulky jeans.

The inside is lined with a cushy, spongey material that makes them ever so comfortable. You can literally hose them down and they look brand new.
