Loved your garden shoe review!

I have a similiar collection, but must admit I own a pair of Sloggers clogs – got them in spring 07 for half off. They’ve become my garden shoe of choice, easy on and off, sturdy and can hose ‘em off. (yeah I know, I sound like an ad for Sloggers.)

Except for serious digging, then I get out the steel shank boots. Learned that one the hard way.

The making of a champion gardening shoe.

hahaha- my gardening shoes have become every pair of shoes that I own that I will wear in the summer, sandals included. My husband freaks out when I wear sandals when using a shovel, but hey, I like to live dangerously!

Great post!

I agree with Susan — I have a pair of Merrells, and they’re literally the worst shoes I’ve ever owned. I spent almost as much on insoles to try to make them wearable as I did on the shoes. No forefoot cushioning at all.

They make my feet hurt even when all I do is walk around the garden. Feh.

I’m looking forward to the Sloggers. I jam my feet into a pair of LL Bean gum boots just because they’re handy.

Sweat pants and gum boots: the height of Maine fashion!

Sharp eyes Layanee. That’s actually a leaf. Biohazards are relegated to the porch all winter, which is a veritable leaf eddy. I did once live in a house where the mice would steal dog food and fill my boots with kibbles.

And Pam: I’ll ship the sneaks to you when they reach BSL-3. Your students might make some amazing discoveries culturing them.

Craig: I think there is a mouse in those K Mart tie ups! I think you big win was very timely and no one needs those sloggers more than you!!! LOL

This is hilarious – and extremely well-done. You could get this into a peer-reviewed journal I think.

I could send you biohazard signs for the sneakers. We’re approved as a BSL-2 facility…hmmm. Those shoes might get you up to a BSL-3 level.
