I daily used mine at the dairy farm for at least 1.5 years until they were literally falling apart from all their seams. They were definitely very warm in the summer, but it was workable.

Oh and I also have a bad back and have had 3 major surgeries done in my knees and ankles and these are by far an excellent mix between protection and lightness. I haven’t had many flare ups in my legs or back since changing from my muck boots.

My suggestion is Bekina boots! I daily use my StepliteX SolidGrip S5 at the dairy farm for the past 3 months and have 0 complaints. They have all the features you might want such as slip resistance, a composite safety toe, electrical hazard resistance, and thermal insulation rated for -22 C. I was a bit skeptical of the insulation, but I used them this past week during the bad weather (I am in PA) and they kept my feet warm and dry.

They are very comfortable and warm, but the glue is very poor quality. Mine seem to start coming apart within 3 months of daily use at the dairy farm.

Manzella Infinium! A bit pricey, but I used them all winter for my farm chores. I just don’t like thick gloves or gloves that restrict my hands too much, and I have found this to be the best! I have used them for three winters now and they are as good as new!
