Backyard Shoes

Mistreatedbycs · ‎03-10-2010

Looking for a pair of shoes similar to garden shoes that I can go in the backyard and play with the dog. Sometimes there's less than grass areas which are mud and yes, I pick up the poo but sometimes I may miss an area and yes, it's on my shoes.

So, is there a comfortable pair of slip ons that are just as I'm describing?

Washable with the hose, carefree care.

I got a pair of mid-calf rain boots from TJ Maxx.com for only $19.99 - they are really cute - grey with owls all over them. When it has rained a lot, my backyard can get muddy in spots - I use them to work outside in the yard - love them - they fit true to size - just slip them on and go. You can rinse them off with a hose.

P.S. - TJMaxx.com also has shorter shoe boots - just search for rain boots. I also pick up poo with them and yes, sometimes don't see it in time before I step on it - ugh!

I have my eye on a pair of sloggers because I have the same situation. Currently, I have a pair of old all leather tennis shoes that I just hose off and a pair of Minnetonka slip on's with a ridged bottom that I rub off on a Don Astlett door mat.

I keep a pair of crocs on the back porch, if they get something on them, hose it off.

Have had a pair of sloggers for almost 2 years, still look like new. Absolutely the best for walking in rain, wet grass or mud.

Active Birki clogs by Birkenstock, they make gardening shoes without a liner, but the liners slip out if you need to hose off the other styles of the polyurethane synthetic clogs.

I second Sloggers. I have had a gardening pair for years and they slip on and off easily. You could also look at Crocs too. I have a dog and have to pick up the yard before I do yard work. This past weekend I mowed the lawn in my Sloggers.
