Will these hold up when I am using a large shovel to dig up large perennials? I do a lot of gardening.

I do a lot of gardening too and I give d the shoes are very well made and rugged.

I've done a little digging in my garden and the soles are thick enough to be comfortable but flexible enough to make walking easy. I wear mine more in the barn and working around the horses and have literally worn them all day without discomfort. I can't speak to how they would hold up to being used for shovel work on a continuous basis.

Although I have never shoveled while wearing Sloggers, I have to say, the sole is very durable and I am sure they are up for the task.

Sure-they'd be great, but they are only rubber and wouldn't protect from injury if you accidently knocked into foot w/ shovel. Love to garden and prone to injuries myself!

Hi Chad,I purchase these last year and put 8inch pots up with them and they lasted all through a Colorado summer and winter. They were super sturdy!

Absolutely!....that is the beauty of the thing. As you lightly push into the dirt into the side of the dandelion root it spins it right out of there. And without digging up any lawsn you might like to keep in place. I love these two cheap little tools. I pl.anted baby Aspen trees with the bulb digger. Beats a shovel by a mile!

Pretty well, if you have a really deep root you will need either a longer blade or shovel, but for 6-8 inches it works great!

Yes they will. They are strong rot resistant and last for years. Mine still look brand new. Hope this helps.

I use them outside all the time, I have not had any problems they are holding up really well.

I would think so. They are quite strong. They are actually made for the outside. I don't know if they'll last for years, but I would guess you would get long use of them. Good luck.

My guess is no. These work fairly well with turf saver tires enhancing their traction nicely without "digs" on the ground, but if your tire already is anymore aggressive than a turf saver I personally would go with chains. This answer is truly untested because for 30 + years I have only used chains until I bought these only a few months ago. Hope this helps.

They seem to be good quality (so far). I use mine on a Rubbermaid garden cart, to haul hay and feed around the farm . My cart is rated at 300 lbs, so I would think that you would be ok.

I used them to hold down rubber mulch mat and they worked well. I would think they would hold a tree ring too. they are metal and sturdy.

Last year I used these for potatoes and the 10 Gal size were plenty big. Then, this spring my 2 trees (6ft.tall) were delivered too early and I am using my 10 Gals Dirt Pots to hold these over until I can plant them outside.They are plenty big however when you water them I recommend making sure to drench the soil. I made the mistake of not soaking the soil and the water ran off the top of the soil and down the fabric on the inside.

Yes, but not so much as to be problematic. They will flex and are great for scraping. They're yielding, but not wimpy.

I would say yes, they are sturdy enough. I use them as bins for our shoes in our mud room and they've taken quite a beating and have held up nicely.

Yes absolutely as long as they are made of metal. Mine often finds small nails as deep as 6" in the ground.

Absolutely! They are Heavy Duty and a great length! These should last a good long time.

i think that is what they are made for....definitely not for yard work....they have a 'strap' that is not made of elastic so they are a little stiff

Yes, if you use them upside down. I used both of them on either side of a 2 and a half foot planter and it held very well.
