The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged. It’s worth noting that these shoes don’t come in half sizes, however there is a half-sizer insole included to help you achieve a better fit.

We know that people like something a bit different, which is why our outdoor clogs are decorated with unique patterns that include chillies, dogs, poppies, meadow, grass, chickens, roses and more. Easy to slip on and off at the door and after a full day in the garden on a cold November day, my feet were warm and dry.They're fairly heavy with deep tread that provides good traction in slippery muck, and when worn unfolded, they gave us the confidence that we could walk into any gardening task and be protected.

These rubber ankle boots may be billed as fishing footwear, but the same features that make them great for wearing on the boat — like the slip-resistant, high-traction sole and the 100% waterproof outer — also make them ideal for heavy-duty gardening, which is why Dubow recommends them.

When it comes to getting a bit more down and dirty in the garden, like deep weeding, pruning, or wading into a sea of vegetation, I recommend wearing at least ankle-height boots, both for better support (so you have solid footing and don’t topple on top of your precious plants), as well as protection from insects. The garden shoes were also easy to slip off with the help of the built-in heel kick, and after normal gardening use, only a little wear was visible on the treads toward the heel.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.
