They are great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-and-considering-clogs#post-2281568 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 21:37:54 +0000 DonnaF 2281568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don’t forget you can snug up clogs with a tongue pad up top. I’ve had them fall off/fall down after awhile so need to keep rubber cement on hand. Also, the back strap needn’t fit snugly. The back of my Dansko Pros is quite enough to keep them from flying off my feet and I never walk out of them, unlike my silver true clogs even with tongue pads. I suggest testing clogs on stairs since they are a much greater challenge than level ground. Ask me how I know. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-and-considering-clogs#post-2281535 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 20:17:34 +0000 Janet 2281535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, no, I haven’t. I haven’t had any clogs since way before my YLF years! The KD ones look good in the pics but we shall see how they appear IRL. I ordered them from Nordstrom so returns are easy if they’re not right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-and-considering-clogs#post-2281507 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 18:15:10 +0000 LJP 2281507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you had Kelsi Dagger clogs before? I ordered a pair from Anthro a couple of summers ago and was disappointed in how "fake" the sole looked . The whole clog was just not right in terms of looking like a quality shoe &nbsp;but returns were impractical and I decided to persevere. Wore them maybe 3 times then donated them. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-and-considering-clogs#post-2281428 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 11:13:47 +0000 Brooklyn 2281428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! What a great look. I love that top!</p> <p>I don’t know about clogs. I’m attracted to them too but I’m trying to stay away from shoes that are just for occasional wear. I have many already. From a purely aesthetic perspective, I prefer the styles that have the brass or silver studs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-and-considering-clogs#post-2281412 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 04:09:59 +0000 VioletMyra 2281412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a wide foot so clogs are perfect for me . . . I wear them in winter with 100% wool socks . . . they are all-year-round footwear for me. I also have the clog shoes - absolutely love those. Best wishes to all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-and-considering-clogs#post-2281410 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 03:57:48 +0000 SarahD8 2281410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great outfit and how nice to have someplace to get dressed for again! I really like the idea of sling back clogs for you. I hope the ones you ordered work out! </p> <p>Funny, I think of myself as having low volume feet but I have not had problems with clogs. All of mine are by Lotta from Stockholm. Maybe I just got lucky?? Not sure if any of their styles are sufficiently rocker-y for you, it’s been a while since I looked at their offerings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-and-considering-clogs#post-2281393 Fri, 16 Sep 2022 00:37:48 +0000 Jaime 2281393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great top and overall look! I don't know anything about clogs - I have lots of slides but clogs tend to be to roomy for my feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-and-considering-clogs#post-2281389 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 23:47:07 +0000 Janet 2281389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharan, I like the Cordani sling back clogs but they’re only available in a size 10. Otherwise I’d try those.</p> <p>The Kelsi Dagger look a bit narrower in the toe, which feels a bit more refined to me. I ordered them to try — we shall see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-and-considering-clogs#post-2281379 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 22:21:22 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2281379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit for your presentation! When I wore clogs, my favorites were by Ariat. They fit me better than Danskos. Ariat no longer make the style I liked; their clogs now are a lower-platform version and, to my eye, more utilitarian, less stylish.</p> <p>I really like clogs with bootcut jeans and I think you would rock them!</p> <p>p.s. I just browed through Nordstrom's selection and thought the Cordani ones look less boxy in the toe. And oh, I like those Borns you picked out!</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-and-considering-clogs#post-2281370 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 21:26:34 +0000 Suz 2281370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on the presentation! It's so much more fun to do in person events, right? I moderated a panel in person the other night and found it so much fun.&nbsp;</p> <p>You looked fantastic -- love the top!&nbsp;</p> <p>I can't really offer advice on clogs. I own a pair of Danskos but I use them as my winter house shoes/ slippers. I don't go out in them. I find them extremely comfortable for standing (good arch support) but less so for all the walking I do. I guess that's the main reason I keep them for indoors -- i don't mind the look of them, so it's not an aversion to the style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-and-considering-clogs#post-2281365 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 20:13:08 +0000 Sal 2281365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit / looks so good with your hair. And yay to in person presentations. It’s such a relief to be able to attend these things.</p> <p>I see clogs on others and think they look awesome but I can’t see myself in the trend. I was tempted with wooden sandals but they just weren’t comfortable on me. But obviously some people find clogs very comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-and-considering-clogs#post-2281358 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 19:39:54 +0000 Barbara Diane 2281358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love for that top!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-and-considering-clogs#post-2281349 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 16:52:49 +0000 kkards 2281349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>we've been back at the office 3 days a week since Oct, and its incredible how much easier it is to get training done and get certain decisions made. but its incredible how much we are still doing thru teams (the microsoft version of zoom) just because the technology just makes it easier.<br />anyway, i like how the wavey pattern on the shirt picks up the wavey pattern of the bag<br />i really recommend these Sven clogs. super comfortable and the way they are made, they don't fall off and they don't make that flappy sound when i walk&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-and-considering-clogs#post-2281346 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 16:41:50 +0000 Janet 2281346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!&nbsp;</p> <p>Yeah, I think clogs are challenging on those of us with narrower, lower-volume feet. I don't need a lot of arch support and can tolerate a bit of heel, but too much platform and I feel unstable. I've had one sprained ankle in my life and I'd like to avoid another! I like some cushioning in the footbed but it's not mandatory. I'm inclined to try ordering the Kelsi Dagger ones -- the narrower toe is an encouraging sign. I cannot wear shoes with those generous wide round toe boxes -- they look odd on me and don't fit the shape of my foot at all, I feel like I'm wearing clown shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-and-considering-clogs#post-2281345 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 16:29:21 +0000 Jonesy 2281345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab! How fun to be presenting and interacting in-person again! I love those mules. Of the clogs you're showing, I like #3 best. The fit is key, as everyone has mentioned. You want them to fit snugly (but not too snugly!) on the top part of your foot. Too loose and they won't stay on and you will struggle to walk in them and keep them on your foot, too snug and they will rub, especially when it's humid. Different brands fit differently; e.g., I have found that Troentorps clogs work really well for my high-arched, wide-through-the-toes feet, whereas brands like No 6 are cut more narrow. I don't find clogs to be heavy at all, especially compared to my Docs :).</p> <p>As Lisa mentioned, the blog Girls of a Certain Age (run by the former EIC of Lucky mag, Kim France) features clogs a lot, so you could do a search on clogs on her blog and see lots of different brands and styles featured.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a preference for clog brands for clogs, vs. more general shoe brands, since they seem to know what they are doing when it comes to the fit.</p> <p>Okay, I will stop there, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-and-considering-clogs#post-2281339 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 16:11:29 +0000 Anonymous 2281339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking gorgeous! Cool rocker girl. I like the clog idea. When I had a pair I found myself curling my toes to hold onto the shoes. If I tried them again I would look at sling back too. #4 is my fav </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-and-considering-clogs#post-2281331 Thu, 15 Sep 2022 15:24:45 +0000 slim cat 2281331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfit!

Zoom has been an amazing boon for opportunities to gather virtually (and an unexpected bonus is now I’m presenting to and judging groups from as far away as California), but it was awfully nice to see people face-to-face again, where you can read audience cues better. The group had about 25 attendees (pre-Covid it would have been closer to 50, but attendance is creeping back up). </p> <p>It was a gorgeous day yesterday, warm but not humid. I took along a jacket in case the venue was overly air conditioned, but thankfully it was not. </p> <p>Top: old! Vince Camuto, I think. Tags are gone.<br /> Jeans: Mother<br /> Mules: Dolce Vita<br /> Bag: Bao Bao</p> <p>I enjoy these mules, and they’re a rarity — a shoe without a back that doesn’t fall off my feet. The small back edge really helps, I think. I also have two inserts in the vamp to help fill the extra space for my slightly low-volume feet.</p> <p>It got me thinking again that I wouldn’t mind partaking in the clog trend, but I’ve always found clogs super hard to fit. I like the 70s/90s-ish, slightly rock n roll vibe of them. I’m looking at a few options, mainly styles with sling back style straps for a little security on the foot. Any suggestions? </p>
