Garden slip-on wellies

I have a pair of slip-on welly-type garden shoes (made of rubber) which I bought at Nottcutts yonks ago. These are finally showing signs of being past it and need replacing, but all the rubber slip-on garden shoes I've looked at recently are made of lightweight plastic and not sturdy welly-boot rubber at all. There isn't a Nottcutts anywhere near me and their website doesn't show any garden footwear at all.

I'll do a bit more trawling of the internet, but it occurred to me to wonder what you all wear on your feet for gardening. I'm still wearing my worn-out welly slip-ons for now, they are one of the best things I ever bought for gardening.

 

I wear steel toe cap boots all week long at work, so for working in the garden it is nice to wear something lighter.

My weapon of choice is Mucker Boots.

 

I wear the green welly shoes quiet often in the garden but after a few years usually end up with the heel splitting and they are starting to get a bit expensive to replace so I only use them for the allotment {or an old pair of trainers}but have several pairs of lightweight cloggies that i can just slip on and i like them so much I now use a pair as house slippers,as they are nice and wide for my wide feet {bunion}The only problem I find id that I have to wear socks with them as my feet slip in them barefoot but they do tend to make my feet sweat more:p

Once the tread on the soles of them have started to wear out I usually chuck them away as one time I kept using them and slipped on some mud when the grass was like a bog and went flat on my back and it started my sciatica off so be warned if any of you wear them as they can be a bit dangerous:p

Thats a good link you ahve put up Marley

 

I wear green crocs when its soso ,flip flops when its very dry , and wellies that i cut off to ankle high ,the reason why escapes me but they slip on and off very easily ,when its wet

 

Gosh, haven't they got expensive? I'm sure I only paid £5-£6 for mine originally. Thanks for that link, Marley
