I received a gift of pair of the Sloggers Gardening strapped back gardening clogs 3 years ago when we moved to our farm. They were a size 8 and I took a 7. Always almost too loose, I wore them only with socks, which of course got wet when walking through the dewey grass. I continued to wear then daily as they were comfortable, although walking down our gravel drive allowed small rocks inside the shoe causing constant shoe removal and emptying. Also - you could really feel the gravel through the soles. Our new rescue dog chewed them up the other day, prompting me to purchase THESE.

I LOVE them! Everything that was wrong with the old pair is a non-issue with these! Thick soled without feeling like cement blocks, waterproof, and stay on your feet better. They are a tad shiney at the moment being new, but after a few gardening tours and horse barn cleanings the shine will fade I'm sure :-)

I now usually buy 7 1/2, so I ordered the size 8 as suggested in the reviews. Out of the box w/no socks they're a tad large but not a dealbreaker causing a return. Size 7 would DEF be too snug. I could imagine wearing these to a casual workplace without looking like too big of a dork and am considering purchasing the blue pair as well. Worth every penny.

PS - They are a brighter green than pictured - happy frog colored I'd say.
