The general view is that you will get better quality at half the

at builders suppliers. Compared with "outdoor" /hill walking
shops.

Not sure how to do that Janet.

You walk in, puruse what boots they have, try a pair for fit, take to
counter purchase. Not a lot different to an ordianry shop really,
just not as clean and tarted up, just functional.

I want something like wellies, but short. I have seen stuff on Ebay and
Amazon, but prefer to buy on recomendation. I don't need wellies, which
I have, but have started voluntary work at an animal santuary.........
lots of poo about!

As some one has already said if there are animals of sheep/goat size
or bigger get steel toe caps. Most animals aren't like humans when
they tread on some ones toe, they just tread on it full weight no let
up until they want to move that foot again. Short steel toe capped
wellies should be available or the builders "rigger boots". TBH I'd
be looking at knee length steel toe capped wellies, and a boiler
suit. Poo will splash or spread quite high when mucking out...
