I use the Chota Mukluk Light with an insert to make them a little more snug. I go in the cooler weather, so the water is a little colder, and they keep my feet warm. My wife has the same. I would have purchased the Quicklace Mukluks if I saw them first. A little more stronger sole. Chota Mukluks

Got some great insoles from Red Wing store recently. Heel problems were causing great problems, they have a pressure testing machine to determine the insert needed. Well worth the money.

That's where I purchased my inserts, Red Wings. I use the heat moldable inserts...

Does it matter to her if her feet get wet?
Knee-high rubber boots are cheap and will keep her feet dry, but not particularly comfortable in hot weather.
A good hiking boot will provide good support and foot protecton for rocks and whatnot, but can be miserable to wear in cold weather when they are soaking wet.
I like LL Bean boots, 16" Leather top and rubber bottoms.
Chota Quetico Treckers are nice too, but again, your feet get wet.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. -Robert A. Heinlein
