They work with bare feet or socks, depending on the temperature, and come in lots of colors and designs. Bonus: super easy to hose off when they are grotty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055808 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 23:52:05 +0000 rachylou 2055808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Garden clogs? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055763 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 18:16:15 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2055763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks Angie--language is such a slippery thing!</div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055738 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 15:04:01 +0000 Angie 2055738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FashIntern, I mean plastic or rubber slides. Like a flip flop but not a thong silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055692 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 11:11:49 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2055692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, my son's father uses "slippers" the way they do in West Africa, where he's from, for things I'd call "flip-flops". Is that what you're talking about, or do you mean house shoes, per N American usage? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055558 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 21:00:19 +0000 Angie 2055558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I grew up in very hot and humid Hong Kong where Summers are tropically wet. There was no fighting the rain and we walked everywhere! So you just wore sandals and got wet. They dried fast though. </p> <p>When we walked to school, we wore rubber slippers and packed our shoes and socks to put on at school. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055557 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 21:00:05 +0000 Helena 2055557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yuck, I think I might buy an inexpensive pair of runners from Target or something, and just wreck them over the summer and toss them at the end ... although if it's super-wet, I'd probably suffer with my Hunter rain boots ... yes they would look ridiculous with shorts lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055550 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 19:48:08 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2055550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pick yer poison! Sweat or mudwater, your feet are going to be wet. Not necessarily your toes--all those shoes have closed toes, and many of them do not have permeable fabric for the toes, even though other parts of the upper are open or permeable. </p> <p></p> <p>Hope your kids have a great ball season!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055502 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 13:39:00 +0000 nemosmom 2055502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!&nbsp; I don't know if I could handle the squish of a sandal... I guess I need to figure which is more important: mud-free but sweaty feet or muddy toes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055496 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 13:27:44 +0000 Jules 2055496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Years ago I had Birkinstock ‘Birki’ hard plastic clogs in a fun colour for gardening etc. Like crocs I guess. Looks like they still make them in black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055492 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 13:18:54 +0000 Janet 2055492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I wouldn’t like sandals in those conditions either. I wear big old neoprene workboots at the ranch in those conditions but that may be overkill. I like notsaf’s suggestions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055490 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 13:13:13 +0000 notsaf 2055490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in the minority! I do not like mud between my toes. I'd recommend Blundstones or short wellies in whatever color suits you. I've had the exact ones below from Sam Edleman for a few years and they're holding strong. There are also new ones from Everlane you might like (a bit more rugged!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055482 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 12:45:08 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2055482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with not fighting the water--go with the flow. Tevas, Crocs, or off-brand equivalents. For when it's really wet, I have watershoes from Target. </p> <p>Some of these might look "normal" enough for the ball game. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.divein.com/water-shoes/">https://www.divein.com/water-shoes/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055480 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 12:32:24 +0000 LaPed 2055480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like sport sandals for wet weather if it's also miserably hot. For wet sports fields/dog parks/etc, I see a lot of Hunter boots and other wellies. I have a very cheap but somewhat cute pair from a farm supply store, nowhere near the status symbol of Hunters, but not as hot on the feet as Bogs or other neoprene. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055476 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 11:39:44 +0000 missvee 2055476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about crocs? Lightweight, durable, and easy to wash off. ( You did say they didn’t have to be super stylish haha...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055433 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 05:04:25 +0000 Dreika 2055433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my city the summers are quite often rainy and I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time thinking what to wear so I could be stylish, covered AND allow my feet to breathe. For several years my solution to this were perforated leather summer boots - worn with skirt or short dress (this was before the midi length trend). Somehow the feeling of skinny jeans in warm rainy weather wasn’t appealing so I preferred this rather unpopular combination. I’ve seen similar outfit with shorts on other women - both dressy and casual ones.<br /> This year however after embracing the midi dresses and skirts I needed different shoe solution (also the boots dyed few yers ago and I didn’t replace them). Decided on faux leather cheap sneakers to try how it will work. It was again a very rainy summer and the sneaks did they job fabulously despite the low price - I felt properly covered and on trend and they worked with the midi lengths.<br /> I know that the summer boots are a pretty specific case but hope this could give you some ideas for your search. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055358 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 03:24:27 +0000 JAileen 2055358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d wear an old pair of Salomon hiking shoes, probably. Or Tevas as SarahD8 suggested. Nearly all of our precipitation comes in the form of snow, so I would want some kind of boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055353 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 02:31:49 +0000 SarahD8 2055353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tevas and just hose them down/wash them periodically?<br /> Seattle tends to be pretty dry during the summers so I don't have much experience with warm and rainy/muddy. But that's what I'd wear to the beach. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055350 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 01:45:00 +0000 DonnaF 2055350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These fog boots to keep you above the muck? They also come in white and clear. I would wear SmartWool or similar socks underneath since these aren’t leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055335 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 00:44:24 +0000 Anonymous 2055335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cushy Nike flip flops-if not working!<br /> Otherwise leather sandals, I save the fabric ones for sunny days. Normally most of our rain is in early spring though, and my ON booties keep my feet bone dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055333 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 00:38:00 +0000 Gretchen 2055333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to start with a&nbsp;either duck boots, or moccasins.&nbsp;They are short enough that you can wear w normal jeans and the leather uppers allow for breathability. When it was warmer, I go with a pair of dark tennis shoes or Toms with the idea that they'd be thrown in the laundry and be tossed at the end of the season.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055315 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 22:53:39 +0000 Sal 2055315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmmm. I wear mostly rain boots but our wettest time is winter. I also usually have a pair of sneakers or similar that are on their way out that are dedicated to this job. Has been some pewter high tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/muddy-springsummer-footwear#post-2055312 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 22:40:25 +0000 nemosmom 2055312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>This spring and summer were hot and wet, and my days at the muddy ball fields wearing knee-high rain boots in 80F+ weather were the very definition of misery. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I tried hiking boots, but the mesh fabric on the side only collected the dirt and muck and I tired of scrubbing them every 3 days. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I was looking at a short/low-profile muck type of boot, like this BOGS one, but I worry about the lack of breathability...</div><div><br /></div><div>I am curious to know what you all wear on your feet when dealing with wet, muddy, warm/hot weather?
