7 Best Garden Shoes That Are Also Surprisingly Comfy
Plant your feet in a pair of these, and you won't regret it.
Whether your garden is a quaint off-the-patio single bed situation or an expansive yard-full of containers, raised beds, and plots of plants, any day spent in the garden is a good one. Unless, of course, you end the day with pruned feet in soggy shoes or, arguably worse, with aches and pains that'll have you on the heating pad for hours. And while we can't prevent Mother Nature's handiwork and keep your yard green and dry all the time, we can share that proper garden shoes can make all the difference when it comes to your gardening experience. To find the best of the best, we consulted Carmen Johnston, the founder and owner of Carmen Johnston Gardens and Bespoke Garden Plans, who has over 15 years of experience.
If you've fallen into the trap of thinking that the best pair of garden shoes is your nastiest, oldest pair of sneakers lying around, you couldn't be more wrong. If shoes aren't comfy enough to spend an entire day wearing in any other circumstances, then they won't cut it as gardening shoes. You're on your feet a lot when gardening, so proper support is essential. But it's not just comfort that truly makes a great garden shoe—durability, fit, traction, and so much more comes into play! We'll break all of that done for you, but here's a peek at the garden shoes that topped our list.
