There is also a lot to do in the garden in autumn and winter. So that you don't get cold feet here, the right winter shoes for gardening are an absolute must.
Once there is ice and snow on the flower beds at home, gardening is of course over for the time being. But right now, in autumn, it is important that you take a few more measures so that your garden can spend the winter appropriately and bloom again in spring. In addition, you have to clear the paths in the garden in winter - a sweaty job!
If you have a large plot of land or own an oversized plot of land or an allotment garden, you should make sure that you wear appropriate clothing in the cold temperatures. The right footwear, for example, is extremely important.
Garden shoes for all seasons
Ordering robust, functional shoes at www.zalando.ch is of course no problem at all! But how do you know which galoshes are best suited for winter or autumn gardening? Here we tell you which shoes are best suited for gardening in which season.
» Spring/Summer Gardening Shoes:
From the first spring months to late summer, the well-known garden shoes made of robust plastic are of course recommended. Slip a spade once and your feet will be safe from injury, and slipping on wet grass won't happen so easily either.
They are also advantageous because you can easily slip into them, they are breathable and the ground moisture has no chance of penetrating the shoes.
» Fall/Winter Gardening Shoes:
In autumn or winter, however, such garden shoes made of robust plastic are extremely unsuitable because of course they do not warm the feet sufficiently. The garden shoes are comparatively open and also have holes on their upper side, which of course appear completely absurd in the rain or snow.
No, have to in the cold seasonIt may be closed, robust shoes that are able to warm the feet sufficiently. There are also special gardening boots that have an appropriate lining. Wear thick socks during the cold days, but then simple rubber boots will suffice for all regular gardening.
» Tip:
If you use saws for your work, it is best to use rubber boots with saw protection. You can also opt for lined work shoes with steel toe caps. Of course, that's a bit exaggerated for planting flowers.
What is there to do in winter?
During the cold winter months, work in the garden is of course idle for long periods of time. However, you can't just say that the garden should be left to its own devices between November and March. Here are a few important tasks that you should complete during this time:
- freeing the evergreens from the snow load
- on the milder days when there is no frost, water the plants less (otherwise the plants run the risk of freezing to death!)
- Cut down trees (This should only be done in winter, because then there is no juice in the trees.)
As you can see, there is definitely something to do in the garden even in winter. It is therefore advisable that you buy special winter shoes for gardening. Once bought, you can wear them for years. Because in winter the shoes are often not put under as much strain as in spring or summer.
You will quickly see that the investment will definitely be worthwhile, because when it's really cold outside, you won't want to be without your warm garden shoes.
