What shoes do you garden in, advice please?

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

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.

Steel toecaps

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.

Joules wellibobs

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Short wellies or gardening clogs

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

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.

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!

Old M&S Footgloves with Velcro fastenings.

I've an old, very worn pair of ballerina shoes which I wear for the odd bit of dead-heading and another pair of rather battered slip-on trainers which I pop on for more serious work. As with others, they get relegated down until they're completely unwearable.

Crocs or down at heel trainers got some ankle garden boots for winter

Gardening clogs from Aldi at £3.99 a pair. Waterproof, light on the feet but sturdy and supportive and can be left outside by the back door in all weathers.

Wellies when it’s wet, closed toe Birkenstocks when it is warm and dry, and very old lace-up shoes any other time.

Rubber boots. There are a few nasty insects around and they protect me. Nothing worse than a spider bite or a bullant bite.

Crocs (no socks) in the garden because they’re easy to slip on and off.

Lakeland waterproof ankle boots on the allotment or an old pair of very comfy velcro fastening Skechers trainers.
