BriersBriers Traditional Garden Shoes, Green, Size 7/40.5

Good fit and comfortable.

Not sure if they are short wellies, or tall clogs. Simple enough, and decent quality for the price. Sizing is odd - the size 10 in U.K. Size is matched to EU size 44, which equates to UK size 9.5. I think the reality is that the "10" equates to a US 10, not UK 10. That said, they also run a bit large. Order based on the EU size, and assume they will be slightly roomy.The height of the shoe was the reason I chose these rather than a clog... but it has also proven problematic. The back of the heel really dug into the skin on my Achilles' tendon on my first walk out. I took two steps to resolve - first, I fit oversized mugs in the shoe opening to stretch them out a bit, and filled the mugs with boiling water. The heat was enough to relax the rubber, and I left the mugs in place until they were totally cool, and the shoes kept that stretched out shape. I think that would have been sufficient to prevent the rubbing/cutting on my Achilles' tendon... but with the damage done, it was still painful in that exact spot.The secon thing I did was trim a bit off the back of the shoe - just evened it off to be a bit lower. It has made it easier to slide the shoes on, and they are far more comfortable. I was worried the heel would slide up and down like a clog, but with the small slice removed, there is still plenty for the shoe to grab snuggle on my heel, and happy to say zero slippage.Overall a good shoe for the price.

Gardening

These garden shoes were just what I needed but I found that they pinched my feet just above my ankles

Great pair of garden shoes - quite sturdy. Ideal for slipping on to feed the birds, take the bins out etc. Very pleased with them.

Perfect for the garden, my husband loves them.

Good value for money. very stiff to put on. keep in airing cupboard to soften the rubber.

Wonderful, practical shoes - perfect for putting on when nipping into the garden. This is my second pair, the first having lasted me in excess of 20 years! Wouldn't be without a pair. The size is perfect and they are very comfortable. Thank you!
