Forget Crocs, these easy slip-on backdoor shoes are comfy, affordable and ideal for summer
Floral print and comfy slip-on shape, spotted at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, these fun clogs are available on the high street
Amongst the stunning gardens on display at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, there's been a standout star this year and it's not who or what you think.
Eager attendees have been snapping up Backdoorshoes Poppy Explosion Print Garden Clogs. Nicola Lewis - best known as influencer @ThisGirlCanOrganise - shared a reel to her 224K followers of her trying on a pair and declared the style a must-have.
This lightweight rubber shoe is the perfect footwear to keep, as the name suggests, by the door for those moments that you just need to pop out, whether it's grabbing the washing or for a cuppa in the garden. Decorated in a pretty Monet-inspired print, they're a stylish all-weather alternative to your favourite comfortable sandals, and the clog-like shape makes them a cost-effective alternative to our favourite Crocs.
