Gumboots

Well damn. I've had a pair of gumboots for years, I probably bought them from Kmart or something.

I bought another pair recently from the salvos because I couldn't find my normal ones.

Oh my god, what a difference. These things have proper soles, your feet don't get sore as quick. And most importantly, it is easier to smash down on your shovel head with your foot without your foot getting smashed.

As they say, you get what you pay for. Although that said, they probably cost the same but over was new the other second hand.

Sorry, Jaros.

Sounds like you need to go and find a mud puddle down there street and jump in it like little kids

Gotta get some icy pole sticks to race down the gutter..

I cut down a spare pair that were obsolete so I could use them as gators. Very easy to put on and wear.
