Was looking for a general purchase of Muck garden shoes. I didn't want to pull the $65+ deduction. I saw them for $29 in black and was concerned about the "plastic" but they seem flexible like rubber. I am guessing they are made in the USA. They are comfortable and stylish with good healing support. There is a slightly visible seam in the middle of these "garden" boots. If this turns out to be a killer deal, take a look at the pictures. My mucks last at least a year or two with regular use. Only time will tell how they hold up.
