Not every boot is made the same. Sometimes you spend money for cute, but don’t get the function. Or find a great rubber boot, but it’s, well… plain and boring. I’ve been through dozens of boots over the years, and have compiled a list below of the good, the bad and the ugly.

Best Rubber Boots – Sloggers
Ok y’all, this brand of rubber boot has so many cute designs. They are sleek, fairly lightweight and flexible. If you are looking for a nice garden boot, something to wear in the chicken coop or on rainy days, you’ve found it.
These boots are made from one solid piece of waterproof resin, so they wipe clean very easily. The insoles can be removed and machine washed, air dried. Sloggers tend to run slightly small, so it helps to size up a half size.
Sloggers are made in the U.S.A.
One thing to keep in mind; They are a lighter weight rubber resin, so they may not be ideal for heavy farm work. They will not protect your feet from horse hooves or tractor tires.
You can find Sloggers pretty much anywhere, from Amazon and Walmart, to Tractor Supply and Academy Sports.
Maybe Not the Best Rubber Boots – Western Chief
Now, these rubbers are cute. Very cute. And the amount of designs offered are great. However, in my experience, they don’t hold up to any type of farm work. And because this post is about boots for farm moms, this brand isn’t going to be recommended for that.
I have owned three different pairs of Western Chief rubber boots, and unfortunately, none of them lasted more than a few months. They get worn out quickly, start to leak, and the insole doesn’t hold up well.
However, if you are just looking for a cute rain boot to wear occasionally, for gardening or fashion purposes, this is where it’s at. They are comfortable, and fairly lightweight. You can find Western Chief almost anywhere, from Amazon to Tractor Supply.
But personally, I would not recommend this brand for hard working farm moms.
Practical Rubber Boots – Baffin
You want practical rubber boots that hold up to constant wear and are comfortable? Check out Baffin. These have a slightly higher price tag, but you get what you pay for. I have owned my Baffin rubbers for years, and never had a leak or a blister.
This is a Canadian company, started in 1979. I ordered mine from Amazon, but they are also available at places like Tractor Supply and Cabela’s. They tend to run a little small, so you will want to size up.
Baffin may not have tons of cute patterns and designs, but they are, in my opinion, an excellent and durable rubber boot for a farm mom.
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
