What’s you’re go-to boots for pissing around the yard, chicken coop, general outdoor light duty work? I’m looking for something as I’m tired of slipping and falling in my treadless Merrell shoes or crocs.

Prefer a slip on / pull on boot.

I don’t want a tall muck boot or similar, no need. Ankle height would be good….maybe a hair taller or shorter.

Ditto on the “short muck boot”. Picked up a pair last year at my local Fleet Farm and absolutely love them. Just check your sizing as I had to go 1/2 size smaller.

Thorogood Wellingtons. The regular soles with heels have more traction than the wedge soles.

I wear either a Muckster II ankle boot or a Muckster low shoe for doing light chores like you're talking about. Plenty of tread on the soles.

Most of the Thorogood wellingtons are steel toes (there are a couple that aren't, but I'm finding steel toes for a real good price on amazon). I wear Thorogood boots nearly every day (lace up), but I'd like to try these. Do you use the steel toes? Are they OK if you don't need them.

I just roll the tops of my Xtratuf boot down and wear them like that when I don’t need the full height. Xtratuf makes a 6” deck boot that might be easier to get into.

I have to have steel toe for work. They have been comfortable enough that I wear them on my days off around the farm and yard work. I had a couple of pairs of the lace ups before and liked them also.

Instead of buying new boots, I took a pair of old beat danners and put some bungee shock cord in for the laces and tied it off. Now I have my slip-on boots! Worked better than I thought it would.

Just picked up some Xtratuf deck boots. They are amazing. Like a hybrid between Crocs and Muck boots. They just slip on and have a smooth bottom that doesn't hold mud.
