Best foot forward

Funky and functional, these natural rubber ‘Half Cut’ boots are just what’s needed for sloshing about in a wet garden. They’re waterproof and lined with soft cotton jersey, and the sole has a ridged zig-zag finish for good grip. In sizes 3-9 from Poddy & Black, they cost £75, of which £5 is donated to the Greenfingers Charity, which builds hospice gardens (poddyandblack.com).
