I also have tall rubber boots to wear during mud season and for when the fields are wet. Though I live only 7 miles from town it is always funny, to me, to see people in sandals when I'm still slopping around in snow boots.
If applicable, based on the climate range where you live-have you switched out/in any seasonal footwear yet ? ** I will wear the tall rubber boots today.
