What shoes do you garden in, advice please?

Old M&S Footgloves with Velcro fastenings.

Crocs…..but beware if you have thorny hedges etc….stray thorny trimmings can go through the soles….ouch!

I made the mistake of wearing my garden Crocs without socks the other day. Big mistake because my feet were so dirty I had to wash them in a bucket and find my way to a clean pair inside the house with wet feet as I didn’t have a towel outside!

I used to wear an old pair of Skechers slip ons till they fell apart. I have an old pair of sandals which I wear in summer, but will need to find a pair of somethings for winter, I plan to go to a charity shop and get some walking boots.

Digging a garden is now frowned upon. It is all no dig just put on mulch, then wear gardening clogs bought anywhere you choose, garden centre, pound shop, supermarket, anywhere

Short wellies or gardening clogs

Gardening clogs easy to slip on off . I’ve got fleecy lined ones which are more comfortable

My daughter brought me a pair of Hunters gardening shoes about 7 years ago and there still going strong.

Hunter gardening clogs, waterproof and seem to last forever. Easy to slip on and off and also OK for digging.

I agree with Monica why dig anyway when it's bad for the soil?
I use ancient trainers which are fine for my no dig garden.

Back door shoes are brilliant! I bought mine from Amazon.

Old trainers in summer, old boots or wellies in winter.

Crocus or wellies for quick jobs like deadheading,or just now planting lettuce plugs in my veg trug.Anything more labour intensive an old pair of walking boots,especially if digging or pruning.And yes ouch indeed Blackcat- we have hawthorn hedges in several areas and too many times my foot has got spiked especially through my crocs.

Any old ones, fairly scruffy ones, TBH. I’ve been thinking of getting some crocs, though (washable).

Definitely crocs for me, so comfy and easy to slip on and off.

I used to wear my old light weight walking boots in winter and any old flat shoes. Even when I was young bare feet. Those were the days.

At the moment it has to be clogs or a pair of something that doesn’t need lacing up. I have a pair of slip on trainers that serve the purpose. As I can’t dig anymore, I don’t need a heavy sole.

I like clogs too, ideally with tough leather tops so a space won't go through them. I lost my last pair in our house move and am still looking for a good replacement pair.
I considered a rubbery looking pair but think they would be sweaty.

sorry, that should have said "spade" not "space"!

Is your garden a building site? 😮

or Crocs

My well worn old flat walking type shoes.

Currently I’m wearing Rieker flat sandals. I bought them last year and lived in them all summer for normal wear. They are really comfy so when the foot base covering started to wear I relegated them to the garden. I pop them in the washing machine as required. I bought two other pairs last year exactly the same. I have over the years relegated shoes that are past their best to garden wear. I find trainers to hot and sticky to wear in the summer.

My oldest worn out shoes or sandals, but generally in the summer I don't wear footwear outside, unless for tasks like digging.

Crocs, wellies, old trainers, Muckboots, fleecy waterproof boots, depending on the weather. I agree, be careful of the thorns when wearing Crocs!
