Gardening in Slippers: New Poems for Garden Lovers

Product Information

They are perfect for pretty much every single activity in the garden, from taking out your bins to working in your shed. Despite our concerns that they would become sweaty during longer work periods, these shoes are very comfortable to wear in warmer and wet conditions. After months of use, we still noticed some oily residue, but folding down the lining does help cover the surface.

Whether you are after something robust such as the Muckmaster to tackle allotments in, or something lightweight such as our Muckster II collection for pottering around in the garden, we have the ideal boot for you. We also like that the holes are smaller than other open clogs, so larger pieces of debris like mulch or pebbles can't enter the toe bed. If the gardening shoes we tested had ventilation holes, we evaluated the breathability of the shoes. Moisture stayed out completely during wet gardening tasks, but we think these shoes have the potential to get steamy and sweaty if you're doing lots of labor.It’s worth noting that they don’t offer much in the way of arch support, and we found that the soles were a bit stiff, making it more difficult to squat for long periods of time.

The shoes include a heavy-duty tread to minimize slipping, which is perfect for gardening in wet conditions. The silhouette adds a unique gardening boot style and allows your feet to stay cool in hot temps, while the rugged outsole, breathable insole and waterproof neoprene provide the right protections for a day out in the garden beds.While the ankle boot design may not be quite as easy to slip on and off as a clog, it’s still pretty close — and has the added benefit of protecting your ankles from thorns, twigs and other potential garden hazards.
