I bought these a few months ago, they're really comfy and waterproof (so far), been through soaking grass and worked in heavy rain and still been pleased with there performance. Ooooh, and they're not just black  ;D
I paid £60 for mine from Bergfreunde.co.uk, but these are cheaper!

Same as Mick Kent and totally agree with Barry, I used to spend a fortune on waterproof boots until I realised that
my feet never got that wet even in light rain.
Comfortable rain resistant trainers are all I use now.
You don't work in the rain though so maybe flipflops?  ;D

The flipflops only come out in the warmer weather along with my speedos and string vest. ;D

In snow I just tie a couple of tennis rackets to my flipflops.

Not waterproof though. I'd have thought that was the minimum requirement for WFP.

Aim the water at the window while using WFP....thought everyone knew that.

CAT holton SB, steel toe cap in black leather are good and have a decent grip, Screwfix £75.  Add granger's  g-wax (natural beeswax) on daily, to water proof them.

Site Onyx safety boots from Screwfix £24.99 as Terry just posted.  Not found a truly waterproof pair of boots yet (exept wellies which aren't the best to work in) but these Onyx  are ok and good price.
Craig.
I'm gonna buy a pair of these tomorrow..They look ok for £25 ;D

Stop dragging your feet and they'll last a bit longer  ;)  ;D.
