Default Shoes for gardening

Some years ago i had some really good Chris Brasher Town and country
ladies shoes/boots which were fabulous for gardening being quite stiff
and with lots of support for the ankles with a high back. They were good
because they weren't soft and flimsy and lasted ages but as in all
things they stopped making them and substituted them with shoes rather
than the boots/

They kept my feet dry and I could wiggle my toes in them yet the toe was
protected, good for my stony flinty clay. The soles were thick as well
and the leather was really waterproof/

Can't seem to find as good pair any more, i don't actually want HUGE
boots but again i don't want goretex pliable .

Anyone got a line they might recommend?
