For years, I've been using tennis shoes that are past their prime as my yard shoes, wearing them there until they really couldn't be worn any longer. These Kujo yardshoes are a real find! I love their comfort, secure grip, and most of all, the fact that I don't have to worry a bit about getting water in my shoes if I hit a soggy spot or have to deal with the hose. I love them, and I'd recommend them for anyone who gets to do a lot of yard work or gardening.
