Been using the Tingley 5-6" overshoe. The local source does not stock them anymore.
What do you wear and were do you get them? Thanks.

I wear Muck boots when I don't want my good boots to get dirty.

I don't think make that there is no way in hell that would work well.
In that case I think I would get a pair of riding boots that I would use in the mud. Keep them oiled up with Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP and they will last years.
I have never liked the overshoes finding them more of a pain that good but that's just me.

I spent a lot of years wearing overshoes over western boots. What a relief it was to shuck them off at the end of the day.
If I recall they do make ankle high overshoes that work well if the mud isn't too deep.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

Roundoak, Lacrosse used to make good overshoes but I don't they make 'em anymore. I bought a new pair last Spring, they are made by Servus(Honeywell). Here is a link. http://www.servusproducts.com/Pages/Product.aspx?category=Overshoes&cat=HLS-SERVUS&pid=T320 Black No way in hell I'm gonna walk in muddy chit 4-5 hours a day all Spring in just cowboy boots!

For some reason the link doesn't work. Just click on overshoes and you will find western.

I don't like overshoes either, but lime, manure, mud and water does a real number on leather boots. It was always a pain putting them on and taking off of lace up work boots. Went with western boots and leave the overshoes on and just boot jack the boots off in the mud room.

If you are not using then to ride than Muck is the way to go.

These are what Roundoak is looking for. Those little gentleman's overboots might be good for about 1" of chit, 2" maximum.... Trust me, I am an expert on chitty mud.......grin ![[Linked Image]](http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e78/montanasam/Fall2013004-4.jpg)

If you are not using then to ride than Muck is the way to go. Not sure you could kill a mouse in a corner of the grain bin with a muck boat, you got to have pointy toes for that.

The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

Yep, Sam has what I am talking about, although I could get by with only a two buckle overshoe most of the time. The chit don't get that high here on the hillsides. Guess the days are gone around here where a man could walk into a farm store, shoe store or general store and buy western overshoes. Have to go on the internet.

Got a place not to far that sells knee high calked rubber boots for loggers. They would kill a mouse.

RO, I tried to buy a pair here in town. None to be found. Store 50 miles up the road did have them.

Yes, that would be an option for the colder weather.

I used to get a pair of overboots a size or two too big. Then I'd pull a couple pairs of wool socks over my leather before putting on the rubber.....
