Buy of the week

Spring is around the corner and it’s time to start thinking of staycations in the great outdoors. But as we all know, it’s not sunny in the UK every day.

Which is where these new, lower rise, 100% waterproof boots from US brand Muck Boots come in – just the job for countryside walks with the kids or muddy treks with Fido.

There’s an option to wear them full height or fold down for a lower fit. They have a memory foam footbed, odour control and moisture management plus a grippy self-cleaning outsole. ■■Original Muck Boot Company Unisex
