These indoor/outdoor clogs for women will quickly become the most comfortable shoes you own. Whether you wear slides inside the house for extra comfort or need some everyday indoor/outdoor shoes that you can toss on with ease, garden-style clogs can be a surprisingly versatile and chic shoe option. They can be a breeze to slip on and off, provide some much-needed relief and arch support after a long day of wearing structured shoes or being on your feet and can even add a dash of style to an otherwise casual at-home look. While many turn to ultra-popular Crocs shoes to fill this void, the supremely popular foam shoe just isn't for me, so I've been searching high and low for a stylish alternative that looks as good as it feels. I've been gravitating toward a slightly more classic rubber clog style and am delighted to find quite a few sophisticated and timeless options available for purchase. Below, I've rounded up a few fabulous garden clogs in a range of colors, styles, and price points. Having one of these cuties at your disposal is essential, whether you have an expansive backyard garden or just a small city balcony. 1. A pair of faux fur-lined clogs Amazon If the standard garden clog isn't warm enough for your feet, reviewers insist that this cozy design keeps feet nice and toasty. This affordable clog is made with a soft EVA foam material that's resistant to water and lined with plush faux fur. They have a lattice-textured outer sole to prevent slipping and can be found in seven colors and women's sizes 6–13. Promising review:"I had to wear shoes without backs (mules or sandals) all winter because of an Achilles tendon problem. My feet were freezing and the several brand name shoes I bought were too narrow even when I ordered a wide. I ordered these inexpensive, furry, wide, plastic mules hoping for a miracle. These shoes were wide enough that my feet fit under the upper part. My feet were kept as warm as possible. These are the only shoes I have worn (even on warm days) since receiving them . The fur is mashed down but the shoes are still comfy. They are great for wearing around the house and go great with blue jeans, or most dress slacks for when I go out. My podiatrist even noticed how well they worked for me." — Deborah Davis Jones Get them from Amazon for $19.99+. 2. A hardworking Blundstone clog Zappos Blundstone is known for crafting some of the most reliable and durable work boots in the land and the brand's applied those same design features in its premium leather and water-resistant clog. These slip-resistant shoes have a cushioned footbed and a shock-absorbing heel for all-day comfort and a lightweight outsole. They also promise to be easy to clean so fear not if you need to trek through mud or damp gardens. Shop them in women's sizes 7–11, half sizes included. Get them from Zappos for $174.95. 3. A cherry red Adidas platform Nordstrom Shockingly, these bright chunky clogs are made by Adidas and could be a great option for anyone who is in need of a roomier toe box. The footbed itself features "Adifom," a type of brand-exclusive cushioning that claims to absorb impact and equally distribute weight. These come in women's sizes 5–10. Get them from Nordstrom for $70. 4. Nora garden clogs Terrain These Italian rubber clogs are as sunny and sweet as it gets. They're super comfy thanks to the flexible construction while remaining waterproof and ultra-strong. The cork-blend insole makes them extra comfy and provides just the right amount of support.

SeaVees Bodega clogs SeaVees Made with recycled materials and featuring a vintage-inspired design from the '60s, these comfy SeaVees clogs are absolutely delightful.

Plasticana Gardana hemp clogs Anthropologie These are the garden clogs that initially sparked my interest in the genre as a whole. It can be tricky to find this French brand's offerings in the States, so you can imagine my thrill when I spotted them at Anthropologie. Can't you just see yourself tending to a garden in Provence while wearing these cuties? They're as sturdy and durable as they are chic, made from recycled materials and have a cool, earthy hue. You can get them in women's sizes 35–40. Get them from Anthropologie for $68. 8. Sloggers waterproof garden clogs Amazon Available in seven colors in women's sizes 6–10, these simple clogs are primarily made of recycled soft, rubber-like material. They can easily be rinsed or wiped clean, add a bit of extra height and support thanks to a robust outer sole, and are stable and timeless without sacrificing style. Promising review: "I am so glad that I found these Sloggers. I was definitely going to buy something, and it had to be easy on/easy off, waterproof, and reasonably priced. Shazammm I found Sloggers. They are wonderful. I can slip them on, walk down the gravel driveway to the mail box and back. I slip them off when I get in the house. My feet are dry and comfortable, very good soles. I don't [feel] the rocks on the drive way and my feet really are dry when I get back to the house. These shoes are exactly what I was hoping for since I slip in and out of shoes a lot of times a day. Sloggers are great. I bought my shoe size. Many comments said buy one size larger and others said larger was way to big. I took my chances and my size 9's fit just right. Again I love easy slip on and slip off.. Yes I would recommend and yes I would buy again." — Connie 9. Dansko Kaci clogs Dansko People who are always on their feet often turn to Dansko and with good reason. They know comfy clogs better than almost everyone, and these EVA, slip-resistant rubber clogs are the perfect indoor/outdoor home shoe option. They're available in three colors in sizes 5.5–12 Get them from Amazon for $84.99+. 10. Birkenstock Super Birki clogs Zappos Get some of that iconic Birkenstock comfort with their variation on the garden clog. Available in three colors in women's sizes 5–12.5, these low-key slip-ons are great for anyone who prefers a subtle look. They are made with heat-resistant, long-lasting materials and have a removable and replaceable cork-latex blend contoured footbed that feels nice and cushy. These slip-resistant clogs are great for all surfaces and will keep you steady on your feet. Promising review: "I love these shoes! I got hooked this summer with a pair of Birkenstock sandals that corrected the beginnings of Plantar Fasciitis. I bought these to go into fall and winter since sandals were not going to cut it. They are great for walking around in dewey grass, rain etc. I would note that you must wear socks with these as they can get hot and sweaty... smart wool socks have been perfect! Move over Crocs cause these Birkenstocks rock!" — Anonymous 11. L.L. Bean Rugged slip-on wellies L.L. Bean For a bit more sturdiness and coverage, consider these slip-ons from L.L. Bean. They're more shoe-like than your everyday clog and are a good option for people who feel uneasy in clogs or simply prefer the aesthetic. Available in two colors in women's sizes 6–11, they're designed to be tough and comfortable in wet, slippery and muddy conditions. Promising review: "I have owned the olive green wellies for about a year. I bought a size 8 and they're a little roomy so l always wear thick socks. With thick socks they are just right. I usually wear these in cooler months so it's nice to have on cozy socks in a plastic shoe. These have surprisingly good arch support, fabric lining, and it feels like a memory foam footbed. I am not sure if it is, but it's that comfortable. I feel like l am wearing a shoe and not a clunky rain boot so they are easy to walk in. The fabric around the ankle ensures only soft material is against your skin. Since these are plastic l doubt if they'll wear out, but if they do l will buy them again." — Lucy 12. Bigant clogs Amazon These EVA clogs are a great affordable alternative to another popular brand with a similar silhouette. They're light and comfy, with a cushioned heel and adjustable instep straps to customize your fit. The abrasive outer sole helps to keep you steady on slippery surfaces. They're available in six colors in sizes women's 5–12. Promising review: "Super comfortable and versatile. Absolutely LOVE these! They're very comfortable and go with a lot of different outfits. I bought them to be house shoes but sometimes they go so well with my outfit I just get up and go where I need to with these. Absolutely happy with the quality as I've already put them through a lot and they look perfect still!" — Lissette Vega Get them from Amazon for $19.98+. 13. Xtratuf Legacy clogs Amazon Go for a more rugged, heavy-duty look with these Xtratuf clogs. They were initially designed as the slip-on version of boots that are typically worn on the deck of Alaskan commercial fishing boats, so you know they're made to last. They're available in women's sizes 6–11. Promising review: "I'm a big fan of Xtratuf and the clogs were such a good deal I couldn't refuse. If you own a pair, you know there really isn't a 1/2 size option. I end up going down a size knowing I will still have room for a pair of thinner wool socks to start out with. They do stretch a little and fit to your foot without being too narrow. These came in the original box and are the real deal. I'm stoked to have a quick slip-on clog to walk through the wet grass and snow." — rjacobs
