These are the ultimate outdoor footwear. you can wear them through dense scrub to protect you from snakes. You can wade through water when you are fishing and step through puddles without getting wet socks. they will never break down, they will last you 10 years before you get a hole in them.

All this for $20.

I don’t know why but I wish it would be normal to just casually wear these. I like gumboots.

Not so cheap for -25C winter months.
$250 for a good pair.
Can anyone recommend a good winter pair? I'm starting a homestead this summer and want to walk in sheep shit.

why not just have layered good socks? I'm not from a cold climate... but wouldn't lined boots be a pain in the ass if they got mud or water inside of them?

They will also keep animals away, thanks to the rancid smell your feet will emanate after you wear the boots for more than 30 minutes.
But yeah, I too like rubber boots, especially when it rains. I wish they made some cheap ones with a sole more adapted to walking.

They would be, that's why pack boots have removable liners. I have had cheap Walmart 25$ rubber boots ones and nicer 100$ ones. The only difference is that the upper part of the boot is less stiff on the more expensive boots. That and on the cheap pair they are more abrasive on the skin on your shin if you wear your pants over the boot for maximum feet dry and clean. It's not an issue if you wear pants inside of the boot. I would say that they are equally as durable. Op is correct.

What do you mean "casually"?

Either you're doing outdoors shit or you're not.

After my Orvis boots BTFO at ever seam & literally fell apart after getting stuck in mud one night I’ve been using essentially these with a felt-bottom that I cut off an old pair of boot-foot waders that would leak. Takes me 2 seconds to put on, never takes any real damage, & works well enough that I have no interest in purchasing standard boots again. This is for wading though, not sure how these would be for hiking.

Long term wearing of non-breathable footwear creates a prime environment for accelerated growth of foot and toenail fungus

You take them off, nobody bolts these to your feet once you go outside.

I too have really come to appreciate the humble gumboot for outdoor adventures. Just the other day I was exploring a new (to me) trail and ran into a couple washouts and some completely flooded areas. The boots kept me 100% dry and clean. There's only two downsides I've noticed. One, is they're harder on my bad knee until I get warmed up after the first 2 or 3 kilometers. Second is they're not as flexible so it's not as easy to use small or oddly shaped footholds when going up and down rocky or rootbound slopes.

Take breaks to air out your feet, and carry extra socks to swap fresh ones on every couple of hours. Also apparently baby powder or Goldbond helps but I've never needed it myself.

I honestly think that some people are just more prone to it. I know people who don't /out/ and have toenail fungus, quite a few people actually. It's far more common than you think. Meanwhile, I don't and all I do is /out/, then again my feet never sweat bad, I'm more of a crotch sweatmachine. Thirdworlders who go barefoot or in sandals 9/10 times have toenail fungus despite being aired out.
