My favorite garden shoes, the L.L. Bean gum shoe
Call me a traditionalist. I don’t mind. When it comes to what I wear on my feet when I head out to the garden, I go with the tried and true, old-fashioned L.L. Bean gum shoe. And even though I realize there has been a rash of garden shoes, clogs and boots on the market in recent times, here’s why I believe my Bean’s shoes are the best gardening footwear to be found:
• Easily slipped on and off, no bending down to fasten buckles, etc.
• They offer good traction, important when it comes to wet surfaces
• Unlike some of the clogs and sandal-type shoes, they always keep your feet dry
• Good summer and winter when you want warm socks
• Just hose them off when you are ready to head indoors
• Long-lasting and bottoms can be replaced
• They are available in both men’s and women’s sizes
