Our Verdict: Sloggers Waterproof Rain Boots
The cheapest way to keep your feet dry in the garden, as long as you do not ask them to do heavy work.
A light, one piece resin mid calf boot made in the USA for backyard gardening and casual puddle stomping at a low price.
So, is it any good?
The clear budget pick, priced well below every leather lined or neoprene rival here.
Made in the USA from a single piece of resin, which is unusual at this price.
For the money they are brilliant round the garden and wipe clean in seconds. I would not walk far in them though, the heel gets hard underfoot after an hour.

Our Analysis, Comparisons, and Test Results
The Sloggers Waterproof Rain Boots scored 80 out of 100 overall.
It is strongest on value for money and weakest on durability/workmanship.
Here is how it did on every metric we tested, with exactly how each score compares to the rest of the field.
Value for Money
The clear budget pick, priced well below every leather lined or neoprene rival here.
Made in the USA from a single piece of resin, which is unusual at this price.
For occasional garden use the low cost makes them an easy buy.
You get what you pay for on longevity, so the value is in light duty only.
| Value for Money | Rating |
|---|---|
| Best in test | 10/10 |
| Sloggers Waterproof Rain Boots | 10/10 |
| Category average | 7.3/10 |
| Worst in test | 6/10 |
Comfort
Cushioned comfort insole with some arch support, better than a bare rubber boot.
Reviewers call comfort just okay rather than great.
Here's what that means:
The grid style heel construction can start to feel hard underfoot over a long session.
Fine for pottering in the garden, less so for hours on your feet.
| Comfort | Rating |
|---|---|
| Best in test | 10/10 |
| Sloggers Waterproof Rain Boots | 6/10 |
| Category average | 7.7/10 |
| Worst in test | 6/10 |
Durability/Workmanship
Fine for wet grass, garden beds and muddy paths, not for hikes or tool heavy yard work.
Sloggers only guarantee the waterproofing for six months, the shortest warranty in this group.
The soles hold up for casual wear but wear down fast under rugged use.
Treat them as a light duty boot and they last, push them hard and they do not.
| Durability/Workmanship | Rating |
|---|---|
| Best in test | 9/10 |
| Sloggers Waterproof Rain Boots | 6/10 |
| Category average | 7.1/10 |
| Worst in test | 5/10 |
Waterproof
Molded from a single piece of flexible resin with no seams, so there are no weak points to leak.
Keeps feet dry through puddles, damp grass and messy garden work.
The smooth exterior wipes clean easily.
The six month waterproof guarantee is the honest limit on how long that lasts under warranty.
| Waterproof | Rating |

| Best in test | 10/10 |
| Sloggers Waterproof Rain Boots | 9/10 |
| Category average | 9/10 |
| Worst in test | 7/10 |
