Whenever you're dealing with power tools safety is key, so why should it be any different when it comes to mowing
the lawn? Of course we can't forget the need to be stylish as well, which is why I think these sneakers—specially designed with a protective steel toecap for yard work—are a smart purchase this season. Even with their tough pedigree they're surprisingly light. They work for more than just the garden too—any hammer-wielding do-it-yourselfer would love a pair to avoid stubbed tootsies around the house. Dakota Women's Safety Athletic Shoes, $79.99. Available at Marks Work Wearhouse.
We're giving away 10 pairs of Dakota Women's Safety Athletic Shoes. Post your gardening questions to green thumb guru Yvonne Cunnington April 5-9th in our Special guest forum and you may be selected to receive a free pair of these stylish, safety shoes.
