Reinforced bit in the bottom for digging a good idea or not?

If you need to wear wellies, I would say the soil is probably too wet for
digging. I only ever wear steel capped work boots to the allotment.

Wellies are for walking in puddles.

Depends what you are digging doesn't it? cleaning out a field ditch
you might have to wait a long time for it to become dry enough to work
without wet feet in anything but wellies. OTOH I agree that a decent
pair of work boots are preferable for most things. In fact in some
cases I would rather wear an old pair and have warm wet feet and
footwear that stays on rather than have wellies that may get pulled
off by suction leaving you balancing on one leg, or worse falling over
and getting completely soaked.
