Anthropologie, Nordstrom, Zappos
Whether you love to pad around the house in a pair of slides 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.

Plasticana Gardana hemp clogs

Move over Crocs cause these Birkenstocks rock!" — Anonymous

Xtratuf Legacy clogs
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 8-11.
Promising review: "I'm a big fan of Xtratuf & 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 & fit to your foot without being too narrow. These came in the original box & are the real deal. I'm stoked to have a quick slip-on clog to walk through the wet grass & snow." — rjacobs

L.L. Bean
L.L. Bean Rugged slip-on wellies
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 five 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
