When it came to quality, we felt that the shoes were very sturdy and noted that water didn’t get into the boots, even when we wore them while rinsing them with a hose.

Brittany is skilled in writing about a variety of topics, but her specialties are travel, lifestyle, and pet content.The shoes received a perfect score for their quality, and we appreciated that the brand’s “All-Day Comfort” soles were solid yet flexible and that the pair felt high-quality overall. However, pruning, weeding, watering, and planting can all get quite dirty—not to mention muddy at times. Nothing misses Liz's warm and wicked wit - snails and slugs, triumphs and disasters, favourite flowers and infuriating weeds, nosy neighbours and expensive tree surgeons, the frustration of overcrowded flower shows - here is everything from the joy of seeing the first crocus to the irritation of losing a much-loved trowel.

However, it also means there’s no sole, so we were a bit concerned about how these might hold up over time.For men, the Kicker Rain Chelsea II style offers a very similar look and the same key benefits as the Sweetpea. If you’re regularly let down by other outdoor shoes and gardening clogs that just don’t do the job, grab yourself a pair of Backdoorshoes® and you’ll never look back! The con with these boots are that they are not breathable, and may become uncomfortable to wear on warm days. Overall, we gave this pair a perfect score for quality, noting that they had a comfortable height and wide mouth that made them easy to put on.

We can't get enough of our new range of Briers Gardening Clogs, which is why we've taken the time to list 10 Reasons Why Garden Clogs Can Change Your Life. It’s worth noting, however, that due to the closed-toe style, color, and material, the shoes did begin to feel hot after being in the sun. I find some tall boots are just too tall to wear comfortably, because when you bend they pinch right under your knee, almost like the top of the boot is cutting into your leg,” she says. They have a deep tread to help guard against slipping and also stand up to their waterproof claims, as we ran the hose over them several times.
