I'm needing some new shoes for working in the garden. Want something that's easy to get on and off, water proof, light weight with some arch support if possible.

Sloggers, MuckBoots and Bogs all have great garden shoes. I wear sloggers myself when I'm watering although if playing in the dirt it's just whatever I pop on.

I need arch supports, too. I swear by Allegria clogs. They are made for healthcare workers, waitstaff, etc. I can last all day in them with never and foot issues. I wear them everywhere.

Pricey at full price, $129. But ive never paid that. On sale if you dont care about the pattern for $69. Ebay if you're lucky, about $45. I but one pr/yr. Im on my 3rd pr. All leather, rubber soles tough enough to use a shovel, removeable/replaceable suede insole with arch support. www.allegia.com. Here are my newest 6wk old shoes already looking not so new.

I tried that link for Allegia and it wouldn't work for me. Is it correct? They sound like what I'm hunting for.

Sorry @plantmanager Here is the link to the garden clogs that I use

There is only 1 pr in their "Last Call" section. You have to watch and catch them at the right time, I guess. again, also watch eBay for your size and a good deal. I always watch for 2 pr of my favorite shoes at a good price. One for work and one for the garden and try to have one extra pair in the closet ready to go. It's time to find a bargain on both shoes as I have started anew with both.

@ShadyGreenThumb
Thanks, I like that style the best too, so I'll keep watch. The one in last call is way too small for me. Sad I'll also check ebay. I like the idea of having them in the closet in reserve. I do that with other types of clothing when I find something I really love..

Yes, true to size for EU sizes. I buy a 37 but really need s 36.5 which is hard to find. They also come in wide widths at no extra charge. Plus you can buy replacement insoles. I find the outside wears out just as fast as the inside the way i wear it. Plus if they get wet, wet, treat them like good leather shoes and let them dry before wearing or they will stretch and misshapen.

Kayla style is very popular. Popular enough to have their own category.

they are lightweight and wash well and dry fast, the insoles come out easily so you can switch them out if needed. I tie mine and then just slip them on and off after that. they have a great arch support, pricey but worth every penny. http://www.saucony.com/en/excu...

I'm usually barefoot, but have too much cactus in our yards to be out there that way.

I usually wear a pair of Holey Soles. No longer available as I think Crocs sued them but they were a Croc look-alike that fits my narrow foot better than Crocs. I wear an old pair of socks in them. But if I'm doing heavy digging, I wear an old pair of New Balance runners with an over the counter arch support.
