best gardening boots?

[flatyre]

well the good weather is finally here which is great but my feet just spent ten hours marinating in their own sweat! I wear chainsaw boot when doing tree work, steel toe capped boots when landscaping but what to wear when gardening? Any recommendations for professional looking footwear when gardening?

Grisports are worth a look.

How about some steel toecapped flipflops ? Theres nothing worse than your feet sweating like a gypsy sitting a spelling test:thumbdown:

I'm sure it has happened, I'll take my chances, If I could I'd wear a pair of crocks, nothing worse than sweltering feet when your trying to get a job done.

 

as it is, I've taken to goin sockless in an attempt to stifle my sweaty feet, sort of helps...

was a thread on a while ago about using hiking boots for climbing, I had a pair of Quasqui hiking boots from decathlon, £85 and they lasted about four years being worn as everyday shoes and on regular hiking weekends, wouldn't mind getting another set for gardening but they're not steel toe capped.

Assuming it's bacteria overload, try rubbing tea tree oil in after bath/shower it knocks em back. Do it religiously for about 10 days.

 

Old footwear will probably re transplant it.

leather walking shoes do me, heavy boots are a pain.
