The best garden shoes for women to easily slip on and off

These popular 'house slippers', as Beslip describes them, are actually more than suitable to wear outdoors thanks to the waterproof EVA upper and the textured anti-slip sole. If you like your tootsies to be toasty, these shoes boast a plush fur lining for comfort and warmth. There's even more comfort to be had with the high-density memory foam cushioned sole. These come in a range of colours, including grey, green, pink, and, if you like to walk on the wild side, leopard skin.

Customer review: "I have had a few pairs of these, I mainly wear them in the garden or for short walks with the dogs. They are comfortable. Warm in the colder months and fine in the warmer months. Can be washed in the washing machine, I put them in a wash bag."

These Woodside clogs are definitely more functional than fashionable, but that's exactly what you need to look for in a garden shoe. These are super-easy to step in and out of with the strap around the shoe, but you can pull the strap back around your heel for extra security if needed. These are moulded from durable EVA and have a gripped sole for non-slip peace of mind. These clogs come in two classic colours; black and green.

Customer review: "Easy to slip on and off. I use them mainly for short trips into the garden or to my garage. Life is all about good decisions: change my shoes or scrub the floor. They are very comfortable and the size is as expected. I like the sport mode where you can flip the strap around the back of your heel for safer acceleration and faster cornering."

If you prefer a shoe with a 'heel counter' or a more secure back, consider Dunlop's practical gardening shoes. These are essentially like cut-down wellingtons, offering your feet robust protection all round, but are still easy to put on and pull off. You'll feel stable in these shoes, even on slippery or uneven ground, due to the deep-cut grip soles. Thanks to the wellie-type material and construction, these shoes are 100 per cent waterproof.

Customer review: "Very pleased with these slip on shoes, great for popping on to go out in the garden, keeping your feet dry and warm. Quite easy to get on and off so very happy so far. Arrived promptly and good value too."

The brilliantly named Backdoorshoes offers a range of fun and funky garden clogs. There are many designs which you can choose to suit your interests. We like these chilli pepper shoes, but there are also chicken-, dog-, bee-, and cat-themed choices. Pretty floral and butterfly options are also available. These are super-lightweight at only 200 grams. These clogs are waterproof, easy to to wipe clean, and also machine washable.

Customer review: "By far the most comfortable clogs I have owned. They are wide enough that they don't rub, but not so big that they fall off. The inner soles are slightly padded and extremely comfortable to wear. The outer soles seem very sturdy, so I think they will last a good while. Ideal for the garden, even when the grass is wet."

These sporty-looking garden shoes are ideal for the warmer months of the year thanks to their breathable mesh upper. They could also work year-round for anyone who suffers from sweaty feet, although they are not waterproof. They have a comfortable EVA sole with a non-slip finish. You have the option to wear the heel strap on the shoe or around your foot. These come in black, white, pink, purple, blue, and a range of two-tone designs.

Customer review: "These are the most comfortable shoes/slippers/sandals/clogs I have ever worn! For pottering about indoors are absolutely perfect as they can just be slipped on without effort and are so light. They are ideal for just going in the garden to hang out the washing or to put out the bins etc., that is all I want them for, but that's not to say they can't be worn for longer outings."

The popular Lakeland Active range of footwear offers a variety of garden-friendly designs. We especially like this 'Lorton' clog with its no-nonsense, practical design and slightly raised heel counter, which helps keep them securely on your feet. These are made of durable, waterproof EVA material that can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Padded insoles offer comfort. These clogs come in eight solid colours and one spotty lavender option.

Customer review: "These are just what I needed for keeping by the back door. They are great for trips to the dustbin, especially when we’ve had so much rain in recent months. They are very easy to clean, and have a nice cushioned insole. Easy to get on and take off. I would say they are true to size as well."

If you need a garden shoe suitable for more heavy-duty jobs, Birkenstock has your back (or should that be feet?). These chunky clogs are made of robust Alpro foam and boast a replaceable, anatomically shaped cork leather footbed. The real selling point from a safety point of view, though, is the steel toe cap that offers serious protection against falling objects or even just stubbing your toes. These serious shoes are only available in black.

Customer review: "I mainly use the clog for gardening. I had an older version of Alpro (without steel toe) and was very happy with it for many years. This clog is also very comfortable to wear. The footbed is great, much better for my feet than a competitor's (without steel toe). The shoe looks robust and is naturally relatively heavy."

With over 50 colours and designs to choose from, Crocs have made a comeback in recent years and make for a great garden shoe. They're easy to slip on and you can pull down the strap at the back to make for a more secure fit. The footbeds are designed to mould to you foot, making them nice and comfy and better yet, thanks to their popularity you can get away with wearing them in the garden and out and about. Great if you want to quickly segue from the garden to the garden centre or shops.

Our review: "Growing up, these were a staple garden shoe for spending time in the garden - they were easy to slip on and were super comfy. Not to mention, the holes are breathable too which makes them a great choice for the summer. For me, the only downfall is that you can get soggy socks through the holes if it's a particularly dewy morning. Nowadays, these still are a fantastic pick for the garden and general wear too - it's a big yes from me."
