Experts Guide to Garden Shoes
What are Gardening Shoes?
Many people view gardening as a relaxing pastime, but it can be quite physically demanding. Long periods of bending, stooping, and kneeling can put an uncomfortable amount of pressure on your body, so you have to use the right tools for the job. Most are familiar with standard gardening boots; however, there is another type of footwear that is specifically designed for gardening tasks: gardening shoes.
Gardening shoes are a type of shoe that’s designed for use in the garden. The soles of gardening shoes are usually made of waterproof and slip-resistant materials, such as rubber. This adds great traction, which reduces the likelihood of slips and falls and keeps gardeners like you safe and comfortable while working in wet or muddy conditions. Best of all, after a long day of dirty work, these shoes are a breeze to clean because of their removable insoles.

"Wow! And cute to boot!
This is my second pair of Kurus and I couldn't be happier. Goodbye to foot pain! My other pair seemed to get dirty very easily so I looked for something to garden in and these fit the bill. I even got compliments on the unusual lacing and just how cute the stripes are. So no one has to know they are also to stop my foot pain."

"A foot saver
I just bought a second pair of these. The first pair are well abused as I have a large garden and 3 acres of land that is our lawn. So gardening, trimming, mowing, tree trimming, etc. are all done using my Quest boot. Now I have a second pair for camping across the country in our rv. Makes a good hiking and fishing boot. Kuru has literally put me on my feet again following the severe foot pain I previously endured. Thank you Kuru."

How to Pair Your Garden Shoes and When to Wear Them
With so many of us enjoying the outdoors, lockdown has given birth to a new generation of gardeners. This season, learn how to grow in flair.
When To Wear Them
Whether you're an avid gardener or just like to keep a few potted plants around, you know it's important to have a good pair of garden shoes. But when is the best time to wear garden shoes?
First, if it's been raining or the ground is particularly wet, it's a good idea to put on your garden shoes before heading outside. This will help to keep your feet from getting muddy and wet. Second, if you're doing any sort of work in the garden — such as digging, weeding, or raking — it's also a good idea to wear garden shoes. This way, you'll avoid getting dirt and debris on your clothes. Third, if you're working in a garden that has been recently treated with chemicals, it's important to wear garden shoes to protect your feet from the chemicals. Finally, while they’re less necessary in this scenario, garden shoes can also be a good idea if you're simply going for a walk in the garden or around the block. No matter where you take them, they'll protect your feet from the elements and any potential hazards.

Gardening Shoe Care Tips
No matter what gardening shoes you have, their care is quick and easy. Read on for cleaning and maintenance tips!
- Avoid letting your gardening shoes rest on a wet surface for too long. This can cause the soles to deform, making them less comfortable to wear.
- Use a toothbrush to scrub away any dirt or debris stuck in your shoes' treads.
- If your shoes look dirty, you can spot clean them with a cloth and mild soap.
- If your shoes get wet, let them air dry at room temperature and stuff them with newspaper to help absorb the moisture. Do not put them in the dryer.
- Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when they are not being worn.
- If your garden shoes are starting to smell, sprinkle some baking soda inside and let them air out overnight. In the morning, brush out the baking soda, and your garden shoes should be as good as new.
With the proper care and effort, you can keep your KURU gardening shoes looking as clean and feeling as good as the day you bought them for years to come!

Types of Garden Shoes & Finding the Best Fit
Are you suffering from foot pain as a result of gardening in uncomfortably tight boots, damp socks, or ruined shoes? Our KURU GURUs explain the different types of garden shoes available and how to choose the best fit for you.
Garden shoes are an important part of any gardener's wardrobe. Not only do they protect your feet from thorns and other sharp objects outside, but they also keep your feet dry and relaxed while working. When finding the right gardening shoes, you have a few options to choose from. The most common types of garden shoes are gardening boots, gardening clogs, and slip-on garden shoes. Finding the best fit for your needs can be a challenge, as each type offers unique advantages that can keep you comfortable while gardening. Here is a brief description of the most common types of garden shoes:
Gardening boots: Gardening boots are a great option if you're looking for something that will keep your feet dry and protected from mud and debris. They typically have a higher shaft that helps keep your feet dry. They typically have a more aggressive tread than a normal boot that helps you maintain traction in slippery conditions. This comes together to form a boot with good support and traction, making them ideal for gardening for long hours in slippery conditions.
Gardening clogs: These shoes are another popular option for gardeners. They're lightweight and comfortable, making them easy to wear for extended periods of time. They also slip on and off easily, so you don't have to worry about lacing them up every time you want to put them on or take them off. They typically have a more comfortable fit than gardening boots, though they provide less coverage.
Slip-on garden shoes: These garden shoes are a good option if you're looking for something that's easy to take on and off. Slip-on garden shoes are a good middle ground between gardening boots and gardening clogs. They're usually very lightweight and comfortable, and have a more aggressive tread on the bottom, making them ideal for maintaining traction in slippery conditions for an extended period of time.
You can find the perfect pair of garden shoes by doing some research and trying on different types to find the ones that fit you best. When deciding which are the right gardening shoes for you, it's important to keep the type of gardening you'll be doing in mind. If you invest a great deal of time walking on surfaces that are uneven or slick, you will need a shoe with good grip and support. If you’ll be gardening among tall plants, gardening boots with a high shaft will protect more of your legs than clogs or slip-on shoes.

FAQS
Answers to the most frequently asked questions are just a click away.
What shoes do I wear for gardening?
+-
The shoes you should wear for gardening depend on a few factors. If you spend a considerable amount of time kneeling or squatting, gardening clogs or supportive sneakers are your best bet. If you're doing some light weeding or trimming, then a pair of slip-on gardening shoes can work fine. Just remember that your footwear must be comfortable and maintain traction on wet soil.
What are the best shoes for gardening?
+-
When looking for the best gardening shoes for you, you’ll have to keep a few things in mind. First, think about the type of garden you have. If you have a lot of uneven terrain, you'll want shoes with good traction to prevent slipping. If you have a more formal garden with smooth paths, you might be more concerned with comfort and style. However, regardless of your garden, make sure that your shoes are well-cushioned to protect your feet from bumps and bruises and keep you comfortable.
What should I look for in garden boots?
+-
There are a few key features to look for in garden boots. First, you want a comfortable boot that won't chafe your feet. Second, consider the boot's height. A taller boot will offer more support and protection from mud and debris, but a shorter boot may be more comfortable in warm weather. Ultimately, the best garden boot for you should strike a balance between comfort, function, and style.
Is it okay to wear sandals while I garden?
+-
We do not recommend wearing sandals while gardening. While sandals are comfortable and easy to slip on, they offer little to no protection for your feet while gardening. Sandals leave your feet vulnerable to being stung or bit by insects. Unless you're doing very light gardening in a well-manicured lawn, we recommend wearing sturdy gardening shoes.
How is the arch support of KURU shoes?
+-
KURU shoes deliver excellent arch support without the need for thick inserts or expensive, custom orthotics.
Superior arch support starts with our patented KURUSOLE technology, which delivers natural cushioning and dynamically hugs your heel with every step. Every foot is unique, and our ULTIMATE INSOLES adapt to fit your needs by using your own body heat to custom-mold to the shape of your feet over time.
The corrective nature of our superior arch support is designed to neutralize your weight distribution and place your foot in the best anatomical position. This support can take some getting used to. We suggest slowly breaking in your new shoes over the course of 2–3 weeks.
