Nothing says spring in many parts of the country like cool and muddy conditions. When wandering out into the garden for the first chores of the season, you need a good pair of comfortable work boots. Wellies are the classic English favorite, but for those of us that need a little more support than a flat-bottomed rubber boot can offer, let us suggest the Muck Boot Tremont Wellie.
These boots are:
- Water-resistant for those wet spring mornings
- Fleece-lined for cooler weather
- Outfitted with a supportive midsole
All these great traits make these the best garden boots in our humble opinion.
The somewhat aggressive tread also ensures that you won’t end up on your rump when attempting to garden when it’s slippery out. The best thing about these boots might be the adorable, and conversation-starting, carrot pattern at the top.”
