What are some good barn boots?

Honey, I am pushing 63 and haven't found such a thing. I switch from Muck Boots for all of the work into leather riding boots. I think your answer is in a better quality wicking winter sock, not just a wool one. Let me come back with some suggestions on that. Muck Boots have three heights. For you, the mid one would be fine. I have never found a leather boot that keeps you warm and dry and is comfortable for walking plus handles the mud. I spent 30 years working outside in the field and we switched from leather boots to winter felt packs to keep warm in the winter which were very cumbersome. Hunting boots are a little more of what you are talking about because they come with some insulation and many are waterproof, but wow, they don't clean up easy after stomping in mud. Plus that leather will definitely absorb the manure smell. If that is ok with you and you don't wear them to town, I will suggest some hunting type too. Will edit later.

Edit: Hit a Tractor Supply or a Cabelas or a Gander Mountain and by the best wicking socks on the shelf. I usually pay upwards of $8 per pair. Buy them taller than your boot, even over your calf. These are called wader socks and are designed to keep your feet warm and dry even if you are wearing hip boots or waders for duck hunting.

Now, I found a woman's boot in Cabela's that looks very promising. It is called Cabela's Outfitter Series Boot, number LSL 81-1883. It is a lace up with thinsulate plus waterproof. $139.99. Special cork bottom, moisture wicking layer, all the features you want. Save your pennies.

Also, a little note on wet feet in the winter in boots. Soak your feet in white vinegar in the evening in an old dishpan. Otherwise, you are prime for nail fungus to get growing.

I need some suggestions as to good barn work boots.

I currently wear tall Bogs muck boots (rubber on the foot, neoprene above that up the calf), but my feet get way too sweaty (completely soaking through thick wool socks), which makes my feet incredibly sore from being wet for 8+...

Ariat

Wellington Rain Boots

Harry Hall Snow Boots are good and the Woof Wear boots that are similar they're really good, if they're not what you were thinking of how about some mountain horse boots, they're excellent x

Firstly you wouldn't go wrong with ANY of these boots Ariat is a superb brand and most likely one of the best or the best, i have tried all of these and i find the second one was the best, you can hike with them and ride they are just the perfect all round boot to have you are going in the right directions, all of these boots are fabulous.

Ok, I just got off Y!A to go put away the rest of my Christmas presents and I tried on the new work boots that my mom got me. I'm usually picky when it comes to boots and hate breaking them in. But my new ones are amazing! They don't feel "bulky" or like they need to be broken in. They aren't as tall as you said you like but you should try them. They're Ariats, so that's why they're so nice :)
