Classic Crocs ‘renowned for comfort’ can be perfect for gardening


They’ve gone from being casual wear to paraded on the runway during major fashion events like London Fashion Week. And Crocs even have a few big-name celebrity fans, especially since the brand collaborated with rapper Post Malone a while back, and let’s not forget musician Questlove walking the Oscars red carpet in a dazzling gold pair too. 

If you’re looking for footwear that is comfortable and also durable, then it’s time you invested in a pair. The first-ever pair was unveiled as far back as 2002 and it’s fair to say the plastic clogs were largely dismissed as not being high fashion – but that changed quite quickly and the fashion world has embraced them for a while now. Aa deal from Amazon at the moment has the Unisex Classic Clogs which on offer for £29.99.

They are also part of Prime’s ‘Try Before You Buy’ too, meaning you can: “Try for 7 days for eligible sizes and colours, pay later only for what you keep”. The black ones are on offer, and there’s even better news if you like a bit of sparkle in your wardrobe, because one of the really fun and popular things about Crocs these days is that you can customise them with Jibbitz charms, which you insert into the ventilation ports. 

Crocs uses US sizing on footwear no matter where you buy them, so keep that in mind. They also only come in whole sizes so if you wear a half size, then remember to size up. A huge benefit is how easy they are to keep clean, you just simply give them a scrub with some soap and water. So they’re really perfect for even doing things like gardening, because no matter how full of soil they get, a quick washdown cleans them up.

Another plus point is their functionality. With non-slip soles they have great traction, even if there’s a wet surface, and their ventilation ports also mean that your feet get to breathe. They’re also water-resistant, so you don’t have to worry about them getting ruined if they get wet. 

They have an average 4.7 star rating on Amazon out of a whopping 516,000 reviews, which is massive. One person noted: “I used to say I would never ever be caught wearing these and yet here I am reviewing my purchase. They’re comfortable, easy to slide on and off (which if you have young kids coming in and out of the garden, are a god send when you’re back and forth constantly!) and they’re so easy to clean”.

Another happy buyer said: “They go with anything and keep your feet comfy and airy. They are so light you barely even know you have them on!”. Someone else was chuffed with their durability too, writing: ” They are absolutely wonderful. Couldn’t live without them now. They are indestructible! Comfortable, waterproof….protective”.

But there is no denying they can be divisive, so some people didn’t have glowing feedback. One person felt they’d shown wear and tear quickly, saying in a three-star review: “I only wear them for light walks and in the house so didn’t expect them to look so worn”. While someone else pointed out that they got the sizing wrong, writing: “I had to order Size 5 UK Mens to get a UK Mens size 7”, so do check before you order yours.

If you wanted to look further afield for other slip-on type shoes, then you can check out a pair of Mahabi’s, which are at the top end of the price scale at £79 a pair. You could also opt for another style of slip-on shoe, like the ones offered up online by Vans, which are on special for £45.
