Cindy ...
I don't know whether you are looking for shoes for winter gardening or for the other seasons. I do a lot of work during the cold winter months because my summer temps are so hot, I just can't work outside for more than a couple of hours during the day. I spend that time watering ...
I can't go barefoot in my garden because I have too many rocks in my garden. I do know that I need good shoes or else my feet and legs get tired because I work on several levels and a slope.
It does sound like you have a hard time finding good shoes to work in while out in the garden.
I often check out this site first when shopping for shoes:

Good luck.
