Chicken escape, Amazon delivery and the dogs are out, fuel truck coming and the laneway needs plowing…
Can you consider boots a tool? It may be a stretch, but yes, these boots are my handy hands-free tool for a quick exit/entrance no matter the season.
There are a several things I like about this style of boot like a Vibram no slip sole, felt insert for warmth, ties to ensure rocks, snow and debris can’t penetrate and they are easy to clean-up.
I buy this boot a size up to ensure that I don’t have to struggle into or out of them. They also work well for a dedicated boot for in-barn or in-coop usage to ensure no tracking in of something undesirable.
This season give the boot, a handy tool for happy feet on the farm, homestead or rural property, available at several Canadian retailers.
For a full list of fine Canadian boot manufacturers see the January-February 2021 issue of Small Farm Canada, page 15.
