What do you wear on your feet?

[Greenleaves]

Safety boots all year round here, been there, done that and got the scars to prove it !

Naughty, Naughty.

He might wear the trousers, but I tell him which ones...

I saw some solid croc type shoes in the GC this morning, all I could think was how much my feet would sweat! The holey ones would be ok for pottering I suppose (as long as no one sees me) - they already laugh at my huge, victorian lady wide-brimmed straw hat.

Can you not get away with forking the ground over. Digging with a spade will cut through the soles over time. However, forks have rounded edges so are fine with crocs or similar

I wear light walking boots or trainers in summer. We've too many red ants to attempt anything more appealing. Plus my digging seems never ending...

Steel toe caps for me as usually go to plot after work so would be daft to change footwear at 2.30 in the afternoon for 2 hours plot work.

We're still in the process of putting the hard landscaping in, paths, edges, fences etc, so some digging is still needed, but yes for the most part I could probably get away with just using a fork. I do find a digging fork is easier than a spade most of the time.

Old trainers in dry weather, cheapo crocs when not doing heavy stuff ...
Walking boots when it's wet and claggy

Don't do any digging or lawn mowing so crocs are fine for me.

Rigger Boots irrespective of the weather.

Same here if I'm doing any work. If just harvesting I'll potter around in sandals in trainers but gave seen too many foot injuries to not wear steel protection and my 20 year old site riggers have plenty of life in them yet - I do like to protect my tootsies

I wear crocs in the garden.

Tried a pair on once as a friend raved about them. To get them the right length for me they were stupidly wide and my feet could roll around like they were in boats. Even after a couple of minutes they felt uncomfortable and plastic always looks sweaty but they must suit some people as so many are bought. Seem expensive for a gardening shoe though.

[Potstubsdustbins]

I do not dig, rake, fork etc so in this weather it's walking sandals with a decent tread underneath

[snakeshack]

Usually riggers unless I'm just popping up to harvest, then it's whatever I already have on.

Mucker boots for me - waterproof at the bottom and breathable at the top. Useful for being around the horses too

Wellies. Always wellies. We're in Cumbria, and on clay, so it's always muddy, and our plot is most successful at growing broken glass and rusty nails... I do a lot of my work kneeling, and they help protect my shins, too.

And it's never that hot up here, anyway.

I wear mostly muck Sandals or crocs as I joined the no dig brigade. And I used to work in 'Elf and Safety..... :O
