Best Gardening Shoes to Buy 2026
This spring, I moved into a new house and, for the first time in my adult life, I needed to learn how to tend, cultivate, and plant a garden. The garden itself isn’t huge, but I feel very lucky to have a private outdoor space in the city, so intend to make the most of it – and while I know very little about gardening, I have access to the knowledge of my colleagues here. Home and garden. Through interviews with experts, trial and error in their own gardens and years of experience working in this office, Sue Gilkes, Claire Foster and Elizabeth Metcalf know everything there is to know about gardening. As such, I canvassed the three of them for their opinions on the best gardening shoes to buy. From slip on rubber clogs to hard-wearing, sturdy boots, they share their favorite pairs below.
