Crocs are indeed hideous, but they can't be beat for comfort and convenience in the garden. I keep a few sizes on hand in the garage so there can be no excuses when I ask someone in the family to help out! Easy on/off, roomy enough to wear with socks if you need to, and a blast with the garden hose cleans off the muck. I wouldn't wear these ugly shoes out of the house though!

One note: I do bristle at the idea of paying more than twenty bucks for rubber shoes, but only the legit Crocs provide both comfort and quality. The cheap knockoffs are typically made of hard plastic that hurt, and they start to rip and crack after minimal exposure to the elements. Just fork out the money for the real Crocs, they're worth it.
