Thanks for such a speedy reply. Sorry my original post was ambiguous. I don’t have to wear boots. However, I work in a butcher shop, and so it can be quite dirty work, especially for my shoes. I figured a pair of boots would be a good bet since they are rugged, and the ones I’d be considering would be waterproof. However, I hadn’t realised boots had a such a derogatory effect on my mobility, so I’ll stick to trainers. Are there any you’d personally recommend that are sturdy. I love my innov 8 trainers, but the blue colour and very breathable material just don’t seem practical. 

Thanks again.
