Hi, Folks!
For shoes, I use Sloggers -- they are comfortable and last for a couple of years. I keep mine outside my door and wear them anytime I'm outside. If they get dirty, you just rinse them off with a hose.

For hats, I agree with Willie on the pith helmets -- they stay on your head without a chin strap, they keep you cool AND with the brim, they keep you from running into canes and low-lying branches when you are weeding raspberries, etc and not watching what is in front of you!
The *secret* to well-made and CHEAP pith (or sun) helmets is to buy the ones approved for use by the US Postal Service. Since you aren't a postal employee, your helmet will arrive without the US Post Office decals on them -- you can always put on your own. I've got the plastic mesh one with a Velcro head band.
Here is an example at a decent price, but you can find these at any uniform supplier.
