I would assume that they would work as well for gardening in spring and fall. LL Bean claims that their boots are still made right here in Maine. They are waterproof, and I love that I can just hose them off when I am done. And since they are great for walks, I figure that the arch support is good. I have a pair of the rubber boots you speak of for when I am in the streams and creeks, and you are right, they are not for walking or working in.
