What do you guys use for lawn mowing? Currently I am using the 2017 Reebok Lime Green Tip Shoes..

I have seen Crocs, 2x4 and 4x4 version

I have seen Bare feet, and some specialty shoes...

What do you use?

I use the most cushion ASICS Gel Kayano running shoes. First, I use them for about three to four months of running. Then they transition to everyday wear for about a year or two then they transition again to lawn mowing shoes. What I like about running shoes is that I can throw them in the washer every now and then to get them back to new looking.

I usually buy several pairs every year during the black Friday sales and cycle them into the rotation every three to four months. Usually I buy the model that is going out of style to get the best discount.

I have a routine where I buy a new pair of shoes in the spring and my old shoes become my mowing shoes. I use them for a year and then they get replaced. It's a great system except when I buy new dress shoes or house slippers. Those years suck.

I used to use retired running shoes but I got tired of having grass all over my socks. I bought a pair of crocs that do not have the holes in them a few years ago and started using those without socks and love them!! I don't get grass in them and I can just blow them off and my legs off with the compressor when done.

To offer an on topic response, I usually use an old pair of tennis shoes to do yard work. I've debated (internally) on looking for a shoe more intended for this kind of thing, but have yet to actually do any research, much less come to terms with spending the coin for something like that.
