Always sneakers

 

I am currently wearing some New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro V7's for yard work as I enjoy the comfort and grip that I get from Trail running shoes. I know New Balance makes some mid cut trial shoes that may give you some more ankle support. But if you are looking for comfort that's the route I would go.

 

Hokas unless I’m spraying then I usually end up in flip flops.

 

Same lol 😂

 

Sperry's

 

Chanclas or barefoot.

 

This is awesome!

 

I'm 56 and use the Skechers mens afterburn with memory foam for mowing/outdoor work, I've been using them for at least the last five years. I usually replace them in November every year.

Hey Dudes. 😂

 

I wear these anytime I do anything outside. Comfortable, no plantar fasciitis, no Achilles tendonitis. I replace once a year

 

Crocs or sneakers

 

Flip flips year round.

 

Barefoot usually

 

I do the same when it is filled in after winter. My 65 year old feet are tough.

 

Crocs for all outdoor work, except spraying of course. I'd think supportive running shoes may be your best bet. Im my experience boots are more for stability and preventing ankle injuries than they are for cushion. Maybe stop by your local non-corporate local running shoe store and ask for advice? (as they likely have more informed employees) Or those cushy insole inserts? if those are effective or not. Ive always heard Hokas are among the kings of running shoes, but like 80-120$ i believe.

 

I wear my most recently retired pair of Brooks Adrenalines.

 

I use my recently retired Altra trail shoes.
But I’m not walking on plush carpet like some of y’all 😜

 

Chemical boots (bc they are easy to clean after all yardwork), or tennis shoes if it is blazing hot.

 

My last pair of running shoes gets put into the lawn care rotation.

 

As with others....last pair of shoes.....

 

Solomon X ULTRA 4 or Tecova rubber bottom boots.

 

My oldest pair of athletic shoes. But as I'm nearing age 70, I should probably use something with ankle support since parts of my lawn are sloped. Better yet, I need to move somewhere that does not have a lawn to care for!

 

Nothing

 

People who are mowing barefoot or in sandals must have very flat yards. In places where I mower parallel along a slope, I cannot even wear slip-on sneakers without having my feet shift around too much, so I always wear sneakers with laces now.

Also, I apply sprays while wearing a cheap pair of rubber boots that go up mid-shin. Seems like you'd be taking a big risk taking a chemical bath while working on your lawn....

Well the thread is what shoes do you wear when you mow... Not what do you wear while you spray.

 

Our yards here in the Panhandle of Florida are flat as a duck's back.

 

If just mowing then flip flops. If I'm edging and weed eating or spraying I use some hiking shoes that I retired.

I feel your pain, I deal with all kind of foot problems. The best shoes for me I have found are shoes with a wide-toe box.
Altra makes a hiking shoe that is amazing. I typically replace them every 6 months or when my feet tell me it's time.

I also buy random cheap shoes on Amazon that have wide toe boxes that I will wear for a few months until my feet tell me it's time.

I used to use my retired running shoes, but I no longer do that as I usually retire my shoes after 6 months because I start getting foot pain.
