I have had the same pair of sloggers for 10 years.
I have had the same pair of sloggers garden shoes and the boots for over 10 years.. I have loved them so much I have gifted them to friends and family. I leave them on the porch when it's not Garden season and they're fine I just shake them out make sure no Critters are in there. I can't tell you how many times I forgot to change my shoes and went to town in them they're that comfortable. They slip on and slip off really easy...trust me when you need to get in the house quick it's great to have a pair of boots that slip on and off easy!
