Gardening in Slippers: New Poems for Garden Lovers

Product Information

Wellies: Short wellies are great because they completely cover the foot yet are short enough that your legs are given room to breathe.

The shoes include a heavy-duty tread to minimize slipping, which is perfect for gardening in wet conditions. These rubber ankle boots may be billed as fishing footwear, but the same features that make them great for wearing on the boat — like the slip-resistant, high-traction sole and the 100% waterproof outer — also make them ideal for heavy-duty gardening, which is why Dubow recommends them. If you’re looking for a style that’s less expensive than other options, the best gardening shoes to consider are these unisex clogs from Amoji.We then washed the shoes to see how easy they were to clean and noted whether they needed additional attention after being hosed off.

In terms of durability, the gardening shoes earned a near-perfect score as we didn’t see any clear signs of wear and tear. Made from foam, they’re soft, lightweight and comfortable to wear and you can even remove and wash the insoles to help keep them fresh and clean. Obviously, these boots are a bit bulkier and not quite as stylish as our best overall pick, but we think functionality is more important than aesthetics anyway. Overall, this made the toe box roomy, which kept them comfortable even after wearing the shoes for a couple of hours. However, we appreciated that the outside of the boots can look nearly new after a quick rinse with the garden hose.Practical and easy to slip on and off, they're ideal for wearing through the spring, summer and early autumn and are best left by the back door so you can slip them on whenever you need to nip outside. If you’re looking for a less-expensive option, the best gardening shoes are the Amoji Unisex Garden Clogs.
