The Dryshod Women's Sod Buster Garden Shoes have quickly become a favorite among gardening enthusiasts for their thoughtful design and practical features. The standout element of these shoes is undoubtedly the WIXIT Cool-Clad airmesh lining, which effectively wicks moisture away, ensuring your feet stay dry even during extended outdoor activities.

Furthermore, the neoprene bootie adds an extra layer of comfort and flexibility, making it easy to slip on and off. You'll also appreciate the steel shank incorporated into the design that provides exceptional arch support, which is crucial if you plan on spending hours on your feet.
In terms of traction, the calendar rubber sole delivers solid performance whether you're navigating muddy patches or uneven garden terrain.

User Reviews
These garden shoes are great! They are perfect for mucking in the garden. Totally waterproof and they offer good support of the foot for walking and doing chores outside. So far, my feet have not gotten too hot in them, however, it is only the end of May. The one thing I wish could be improved on, but it is probably impossible without sacrificing the sturdiness and durability, is if they were more of a slip on garden shoe. I have to insert my finger along the edge or heal to get my feet in them completely. Otherwise, these Dryshods fit the bill for my gardening needs!
I like the way they fit, they are comfortable and very well made, I use them out in the yard
Love these for my farm job. Lightweight, waterproof and so comfortable.
Really wanted to like these shoes. I’ve been wearing Mucks for many, many years but in recent years, I feel their quality has gone way down. So, I was looking for something to replace them. I received the shoes on April 22, 2021. They fit a little snuggly but other than that, I liked them a lot. Honestly, I’ve found these shoes to be extremely dangerous. I’ve had two bad falls while wearing them. In only 3 weeks time. Both times when walking on wet surfaces that I’ve walked on for over 20 years, in the exact same manner and never had a problem of my shoes slipping/skidding out from under me. The latest fall was today and it was worse than the first time with my face actually ending up in the dirt and my glasses jammed into my face and a hose end nozzle bruising my chest when I fell on it. My neck is a little out of wack but I think it’ll be fine in a couple of days. I’m not one to leave reviews very often at all, but this company HAS to do something about the hazard that these shoes are. I’m almost 60 years old. I’m still very active and work a small farm nearly single handedly. I’m not a klutz, and very aware of my surroundings but these shoes make some wet surfaces feel like a sheet of ice. I can not recommend them at all.
These fit large so you may need a smaller size. I think with a sock they work. Need to get after some overgrowth with lots of poison oak and need to cover up!
After years of walking my dog on grass i finally have shoes that are comfortable and keep my feet totally dry..
A quality shoe
These are good shoes. They fit perfectly and feel very stable. I was worried about the sole type but they work just fine around the farm and garden and for walks in the woods. They are a little warm to wear in mid summer but still usable.I will be buying the tall boots by Dry Shod for the winter.
