Bought these for outside of the house to put the bins out, check my tyres and water the plants. Wanted easy slip-ons and these fit the bill. I don’t use them for gardening but they would be useful here. Good value for money, waterproof and comfortable. Keep them by the patio doors to slip on and venture outside in all weathers.
Apart from the chestnut colour, these look identical to Briers green clogs. In fact my Amazon purchase history for Briers Clogs now links to Lakeland Active Lorton, which I have never purchased until this week.
The important thing you need to know is that the sizing has changed significantly. My old Briers size 9 were a close fit and my size 10s a bit too loose. My new size 10 ‘Lortons’ are smaller than my Briers size 9 and a bit short for my size 9.5-10 feet.
I measured the external length to be sure. Results are:
My son’s size 8 briers 283mm
My old size 9 Briers 302mm
My old size 10 Briers (stamped “44”) 310mm
My new size 10 Lortons 297mm.
They have a thicker more comfortable insole than the original Briers.
UPDATE after 3 months hard use: The insole has accomodated my foot and the shoe feels longer. Now very happy with size ten, even though it is externally shorter. The insole is more comfortable and longer lasting than the original Briers Clog.

These are great better than the Crocks I had as they keep my feet dry as there are no holes. I use them when I’m in the caravan when it’s wet.
