Hey everyone! I recently got a pair of rubber Birkenstocks for gardening, but unfortunately, they shrank when I left them outside in the heat. I'm looking for recommendations on materials or brands that won't have this issue. What have you found that works well?

I picked up a pair from Aldi's and they’ve been amazing! I've left them exposed to sun and rain, washed them in the washer, and they don't shrink at all. Totally durable—they're holding up great!
Have you considered Crocs? They might not be the most stylish, but I’ve found them really practical for gardening. Just a heads up, though, I've heard some people complain about Crocs shrinking too if left in the heat. So maybe be cautious with that!
I got a pair of these Adifom Supernova clogs on clearance for $15 from Nordstrom Rack, and they've been a game-changer! Sure, dirt gets stuck in the holes, but I just hose them off and they hold up well in the heat and sun without shrinking. Just be careful of the price going up again!
I leave my Birkenstocks outside and have never had any shrinkage issues. If you’re talking about the style on the Birkenstock website, I’ve been rocking mine for around 10 years! Just replace the insoles every now and then, and they’re good as new!
That’s awesome to hear! These might be exactly what I need. I got a pair made of EVA before and they just didn’t hold up as well.
I thought I heard Crocs also have that shrinking issue? Just looking out for you!
