I'm curious about what everyone wears for gardening footwear! I have carpet at home and want to avoid wearing my indoor clogs outside, which I've been doing. I'm also hesitant to use my leather Birkenstocks since they take a while to dry. I'm scoffing at the idea of plastic shoes, but I'm tempted by some recycled options I found. There are the Plasticana clogs that look pretty natural, as well as the Italian garden clogs from Gardenheir and Calzuro, which seem great for navigating around my yard's gopher holes. Alternatively, I've been looking at Grubs slip-ons and Pali Hawaii sandals. What do you all think?

I live in a cool, wet area and love my Viking wellies. They fit nicely and have great grip on slippery surfaces. Comfort is key for me while gardening, so I pair them with some cozy sweatpants and a thermos of tea. When it's gardening time, I keep it comfy!
For gardening, I often wear old croc-like shoes or worn-out sneakers. If it's muddy, I switch to Wellingtons. I keep my outdoor shoes separated from the clean parts of the house. After a muddy day, I just hose off my Wellingtons before entering. Works like a charm!
I totally feel you! I usually go for croc knock-offs or wellies made from the same stuff. They're super affordable, dry fast, and can handle some serious gardening work. You might wanna check out the crocs on sale; they're comfy but do wear out eventually. But for that price, it's worth a shot!
Yeah, I might grab them too! Can't beat a $30 pair.
Nice choice! Viking boots always look trendy!
