need some new boots, the hiking boots I got from costco split in half of the bottoms after 6 months of daily use. I dont need anything steel toe or super heavy doody but I do need something waterproof and durable. I drive a paratransit bus for work in the PNW so Im constantly getting out of the bus to help customers and it rains and is wet a lot.

~~Merrells have been great, site shows 6 lightweight waterproof vegan boots but using a shopping search you can probably find a better deal elsewhere.~~

My experience with Merrell is that their quality was already on the decline and just took a complete nosedive following the beginning of the pandemic

Haven’t gotten any in a long while. Looks like Blundstones has vegan options and are recommended here so will probably check those out when need replacements.
