Which garden clogs should you choose for planting and garden maintenance?

Garden clogs are an excellent alternative to boots for planting tasks and other activities in the garden. More practical for everyday use, extremely comfortable, and remarkably lightweight, Blackfox clogs provide great protection for your feet, even when the ground is damp after the rain or the soil is a bit soft. Whether you’re looking for a pair of breathable clogs for summer gardening or warm lined clogs for winter, our wide range has exactly what you need. Follow our tips to choose the perfect model, color, and size for your feet and your garden!

Why should you choose garden clogs for your planting tasks?

Modern garden clogs, like those offered by Blackfox, are specifically designed to meet the needs of gardening enthusiasts and are particularly well-suited for planting tasks.

• Targeted protection: Their ergonomic design, using materials such as EVA (a synthetic rubber), offers effective foot protection. They keep you insulated from damp soil and puddles, and shield you from minor impacts or small tools that might be lying around on the ground.
• Comfort and lightness: One of the greatest advantages of EVA clogs is how lightweight they are. Once you slip them on, you’ll barely notice you’re wearing them! This level of comfort is essential during planting sessions, where you often spend a long time crouching or moving around.
• Unbeatable practicality: Easier and quicker to slip on and off than boots, clogs are ideal when you’re switching between indoors and outdoors — something that often happens when preparing for planting. It’s a real time- and energy-saver.
  
• Enhanced safety: Many models, like our Oregon clogs, feature soles specifically designed to be slip-resistant. This ensures excellent grip even on wet or slightly muddy ground, helping reduce the risk of slipping in the garden.
  

These garden shoes are therefore ideal for everyday and repetitive tasks: planting flowers or vegetables, light weeding, watering, harvesting...

What are the different types of garden clogs available from Blackfox?

At Blackfox, we’re committed to offering a wide range of garden clogs to suit every preference, every need (for men, women, and children), and every budget. All our clogs are thoughtfully designed in France.

• The EVA classics: Our most popular clogs are made from synthetic rubber (EVA), as seen in models like Colors or Lily. This innovative material makes the shoes not only waterproof and rain-resistant, but also incredibly lightweight, flexible, and comfortable. Easy to care for, these clogs are available in a wide range of vibrant or more classic colours.
• Warm clogs for winter: When gardening or stepping outside during colder months, go for warm clogs like our Sherlow model. They come with a cosy fleece lining (often removable for easy care) that keeps your feet nice and warm.
• Versatile slipper-style clogs: The Homely model is a perfect example of this category. These slipper-style clogs are ideal for moving effortlessly from the house to the patio or the garden for a quick task—without having to take your shoes off.
  

Don’t forget to choose the right size for optimal comfort! Most of our models are available in a wide range of sizes.

How do you care for garden clogs to extend their lifespan?

Caring for garden clogs made of EVA or synthetic rubber is child’s play – which is especially welcome after a planting or gardening session!

• Easy cleaning: A quick rinse with clean water or under the tap is usually enough to remove soil, grass, and dirt. Use a soft brush if needed.
• Drying: Always let your shoes air dry. Avoid placing them near a direct heat source (like a radiator or fireplace) or in direct sunlight, as this could warp or damage the material.
• Storage: Store your clogs away from direct light and humidity once they’re clean and dry.

What’s the difference between a garden clog and a garden boot?

The choice mainly depends on the scale of the work you’re doing in the garden:

• Garden boots: They offer higher leg protection and are often more robust, making them ideal for heavy-duty work (like digging or using a rototiller), very muddy or uneven terrain, or when you need to protect yourself from tall brambles.
• Garden clogs: They are perfect for everyday, lighter activities such as planting, repotting, watering, or general garden maintenance. Their lightness, immediate comfort, and ease of use make them ideal for these tasks—especially if you’re going back and forth frequently.
