The best garden shoes for men for quick trips outdoors

Lakeland Active offers a great range of garden shoes for men and women. The "Lorton" clog ticks all the boxes for what you need to look for in a garden shoe. Its unfussy design is super-easy to slip into, they are made of waterproof, durable EVA material, they are lightweight and comfortable to wear, and they have a slip-resistant sole. Adding to the appeal, these come in a range of handsome colours including Oxford blue, Cumberland green, slate grey, and chestnut brown.

Customer review: "I bought these shoes because I find I am often popping into the garden to pick it trash out, manage the washing on the line, pick up firewood, etc. When it's cold and wet it's a pain to put on proper outdoor shoes so I get these easy to slip on waterproof shoes. They are comfortable and lightweight and fit the requirement very well. Not sure if they would cope with heavy work in the garden but that’s not what I need. Highly recommend."

Perfect for pottering in warmer weather, these Hafiot slip-on shoes are lightweight, flexible, and thanks to the honeycomb-style upper, breathable. These are moulded from one piece of EVA to make them more durable. These garden shoes have a handy "double anti-slip" design, both the sole and the insole can offer you skid protection. These come in three colourways; blue, black, and black and yellow.

Customer review: "Arrived on time, very comfortable, I needed for going into the garden just to slip on and off."

Fur-lined anything is a bonus in our book - bring on the cosy vibes! These ChayChax clogs deliver just that with a thick, faux fur inner lining that extends over the top of the shoe for ultimate comfort. The memory foam insole also helps in that department. The shoe itself is made of EVA and is completely waterproof. These shoes are available in an impressive range of colours; there are solid colours to choose from, but also leopard print, a tie-dye effect, and a tree-themed design.

Customer review: "Great. Really warm and comfy. These are used a lot to potter around the house or garden."

If clog-style slip-ons just aren't for you, consider DUNLOP's safety shoes. These are basically like a cut-down wellie, but can still be slipped on and off easily. The fuller design means your feet are protected all the way around, handy if you're working in wet and muddy conditions, or if you're tackling brambles and the like. These no-nonsense garden shoes have a thick thread on the sole for stability on all kinds of terrain.

Customer review: "I would call these my garden shoes as they slip on and off easily and keep my feet clean and dry. Just what I needed, perfect."

Another no-fuss choice comes in with Blackrock's safety clog that is especially protective of your feet thanks to the integrated steel toe cap. Technically, these toe caps offer 200 Joules of protection - that is the equivalent to dropping a 20 kilogram weight from a height of a metre, so should shield you from the odd flying plant pot. These clogs boast an energy-absorbing heel to reduce foot fatigue and a slip-resistant sole. These garden shoes are a very practical choice as they can be machine washed at 40 degrees.

Customer review: "I brought these for popping out in the garden, working in the shed and garage. Clogs are great as you can slip them on and off easily. I have brought cheaper ones but they tend to wear down quickly and the soles start slipping. These are so much better. They deserve a 5 star review because of the quality. Well worth the money."

There's a lot to like about Lakeland Active's Appleby gardening clogs. There's the comfortable memory foam insole, a 100 per cent waterproof design, flexible and breathable neoprene upper sections that help the shoe sit snugly on your foot, and the handy detail of a heel loop to help you get them on and off. These have rugged soles to keep you steady on hard standing, grass, and earth. These capable garden shoes are available in black, brown, and moss green.

Customer review: "These are great, truly waterproof which is unusual at this price, warm and comfortable, tons of grip. I use them when I just nip outside to save bothering with laces, I live in a rural area so these are the ultimate off-road, capable, lazy, outdoor slippers IMO."

From FitVille, an "advocator and inventor of foot health technology," comes this advanced garden work shoe that boasts some nifty features to help your feet stay comfortable when you're busy in the garden. The extra-thick, cushioned inners get FitVille's 'ArchMax' insoles and can offer you a 58 per cent rate of shock absorption. The shoes have a wide, roomy toe box so your tootsies won't feel cramped. The pivoting heel strap can be worn on the shoe, or pulled back if you prefer a more secure fit. These are waterproof with an anti-slip sole.

Customer review: "I like these slip-on shoes. I wear mine for garden and yard work. The sole is rather thick, so they provide a great deal of padding and comfort against my 240 pounds. I found my size 10 shoe to be rather large for my size 10 foot, but socks help. I would buy these again."
