Where can I find some muck boots for my girls at? I live in the city - so farm & fleet is out of the question. Mail order would be ideal. Those Target cutesy ones don't look like they would last very long. I need something that can withstand some serious pond mucking and gardening.

Look on Sierra Trading Post or at Jack's Country Store online for good quality boots if you must buy new.

I do go to a few thrift stores around here. I'll keep my eyes peeled. I'll check those online sources as well. Thank you.

I would try Land's End or LL Bean.

I bought mine at our local garden supply store. They are the simple black rubber boots that go up to my knees and they are probably the best $14 I have ever spent!

LL Bean and Eddie Bauer, Land's end tend to carry pricey ones. Make a trip to a small town to visit the farm supply? Atwood's in OK had some nice heavy ones for around $15.00 (of course there were some for 50.00 as well) or do a search on line for Wellie's (the English name).
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!

Pricey--Smith and Hawken and good value-Tractor Supply (they do have an online store, don't know how much is there), but most TC's are out in suburbs now, believe or not. Garden stores sometimes have them, too, but I've had the most luck with Smith and Hawken (online also) and Tractor Supply.
I live near downtown Cincinnati, and within 30 miles, there are 2 Tractor Supply stores...

| I bought mine at TJ Maxx ($16.00), don't know what it would be called back east. DD's came from Wal-Mart for $14ish. They have lasted her more than 2 years. |

No Tractor Supply here. Closest one is in Indiana. I do have a TJ Maxx closeby.
If I don't find them soon, I just might have to drive out to Farm & Fleet. Thanks!

i just got my girls some muck boots(were i grew up they called em gum boots, maybe because the mud "gums" up on the boots) they look so cute on em, (also don't remember ever feeling cute in these!) they keep wearing em around the house and the 2 year old, sophia was cleaning hers with a baby wipe! i just got plain black ones--wish i had gotten these when the oldest was 2-wow i would have a lot by now

This is the link I used. I've purchased from Smith and Hawken, but they only have the one style. This link has many styles and price ranges. Hope you're able to find what you need.
Blessings,
