I was shopping for undies the other day &amp; several styles I was looking at had been reviewed by a guy who said they were the only kind he wears. Clogs aren’t underpants, but do whatever works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200930 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 13:56:15 +0000 bjv 2200930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fashintern: I agree...clogs certainly are not for everyone and def not mainstream at all for&nbsp; males.&nbsp; But as&nbsp; you said..things change!!&nbsp; I'd&nbsp; love to wear styles&nbsp; that are slightly&nbsp; more feminine..but that's likely a&nbsp; bridge too far for&nbsp; now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200921 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 13:12:36 +0000 Zaeobi 2200921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yayyy, glad to hear you kept the burgundy ones instead! Even besides the strap issue, I agree that the Sanitas looked a little too narrow for you - you can see it in the photo that the side of your foot is pushing against the strap (not the ankle strap but the wider vamp strap). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200920 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 12:49:29 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2200920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wearing them oitw today, on the usual surfaces. Ran for a train, caught it, then realized it was going the wrong way! I did not get in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200907 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 10:07:26 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2200907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Brooklyn! I wanted them all along. So far I’m happy I went with the ones that made me happy instead of just checking boxes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200906 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 10:06:04 +0000 Brooklyn 2200906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I missed this discussion. My internet access to YLF has been patchy for some weeks.</p> <p>When I read your opening paragraph and looked at the first pics I immediately thought: I hope she kept the darker burgundy pair. And you did! Yay! Thumbs up from me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200904 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 09:19:58 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2200904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn67, you read my mind—black &amp; white pattern with those shoes coming up in my WIWs. On graduation day, I guess I was being an off-key American with navy, white and burgundy instead of red, white, and blue, lol.</p> <p>Bjv, I’ve never been a fan of clogs for anyone, but things change, I guess. </p> <p>Sally, come on in, the water’s fine! I’m not sure if these are technically still clogs or if they’re platform sandals, but don’t think it matters much.</p> <p>Bijou, thanks for that tip and for the good wishes for my son. I’ll give it a try. Between you &amp; lyn67, my next WIWs won’t contain many surprises at all, lol.</p> <p>Glory, thanks for that sweet message!</p> <p>DonnaF, picturing this guy in Victoria’s Secret makes me laugh but you’re right—he sure did want to move that inventory!</p> <p>Mimigrrrl, good observation. I hadn’t noticed that but am very happy with what I ended up with. </p> <p>Thank you all for all this discussion and encouragement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200896 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 08:50:05 +0000 lyn67 2200896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never had clogs except maybe in my youth(?) but now my mouth is watering...loved the fit of the burgundy- will be a trendy additions to that fab outfit!!(great skirt and top!!-elegant but not fussy-and I always love a bl&amp;w outfit with and accent in the shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200817 Sun, 06 Jun 2021 18:42:17 +0000 bjv 2200817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love&nbsp; the clogs discussion, as some of you&nbsp; may&nbsp;&nbsp; know&nbsp; by&nbsp; now I'm&nbsp; a huge fan&nbsp; of&nbsp; clogs as&nbsp; well and wear them&nbsp; whenever possible.&nbsp; Danskos at work and Sweedish wooden sole with&nbsp; open backs at home.&nbsp; Incredibly&nbsp;&nbsp; comfortable and great for the back.&nbsp; Plus they look awesome!!&nbsp; Yes, guys can&nbsp; wear and enjoy&nbsp; clogs too!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200613 Sat, 05 Jun 2021 13:41:24 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2200613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the good wishes! I’m standing on a train platform in my shorts outfit. Young man decided last night to get hair cut, but put it off until today. Then he decided he wants dress shirts. Various logistics issues—he’ll be coming with my clothes, I’ll jump into train with him, and will have half an hour in commuter rail to get dressed &amp; do makeup. I have 3 new shirts from Tiger of Sweden for him to choose from. Must remember I’m here to support him, not vice-versa. Trains aren’t sro, but are full.</p> <p>ETA we made it! Will post WWW pic when school posts photographers photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200531 Sat, 05 Jun 2021 01:55:11 +0000 Bijou 2200531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep the Hees, they look great and I would wear them with the red pants as they are within the same tones. Pop on a red toenail polish to make it work.</p> <p>I love this skirt and top combination, you are all set for graduation day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200528 Sat, 05 Jun 2021 01:45:14 +0000 Sally 2200528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I have decided what sandals I want next summer.&nbsp; I didn't know what clogs were....but the ones with the straps are fabulous and I'm going to look out for a pair.&nbsp; That skirt and shirt tucked in look stunning....classic elegance.&nbsp; You must wear it to your son's graduation.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200486 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 22:42:33 +0000 minigrrl 2200486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hees! The Sanitas don't look like they fit properly width-wise either... (They run narrow, I have never been able to wear Sanitas).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200479 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 21:54:18 +0000 DonnaF 2200479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go with the Hees. The Sanita salesman sounds like Victoria’s Secret SAs that try (or so I’ve heard) to sell you what they have vs the size you need. I’m not convinced that the Sanitas will fit you perfectly even with adjustments. Right now, they look like a twisted ankle waiting to happen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200459 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 18:07:50 +0000 Glory 2200459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FI it looks like you are set for your sons graduation!

You could also try it with cropped tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200444 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 17:05:14 +0000 rachylou 2200444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, go with the Hees!</p> <p>... and that’s how it is for me: none of the big famous brand clogs ever work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200435 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 16:21:26 +0000 notsaf 2200435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit that will look great with your new sandals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200427 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 15:50:36 +0000 Angie 2200427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The burgundy Hee clogs fit soooo much better. Definitely go with those.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sure! Wear them with the elegant outfit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200412 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 15:38:22 +0000 cat2 2200412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, love the burgundy ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200409 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 15:35:37 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2200409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are a couple pictures that show the issue with the Sanitas. The guy selling them pointed out that with such a stiff sole, my heel has to come up a little bit, or I’d have a very strange gait, but this doesn’t feel right to me. I think some of the excess could be taken out of the strap, and another hole punched in the ankle strap so it’d comfortably snug. Otoh, the Hee Shoes don’t need any alterations to feel right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3/page/2#post-2200384 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 13:57:46 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2200384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, yay, I’m glad you like those. I feel like I ought to prefer the ones with the solid reputation, but the deeper red ones just made me feel happy right away—no way to tell how I’d feel in the Sanitas without making the choice to alter/keep them.<br /> And you mean the pairing of the shoes with the “elegant” outfit, yes? It’s all a bit risky, because I can’t pick up the dry cleaning until 4 hours before we have to be there.</p> <p>Kathie, thanks for sharing your experience with this kind of shoe-very helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3#post-2200382 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 13:52:33 +0000 Angie 2200382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the skirt and tucked white blouse outfit further up! Elegant :)</p> <p>The red clog sandals in pics #4 to 6 are KILLER. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3#post-2200356 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 12:19:43 +0000 Kathie 2200356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are super cute! I think you can’t go wrong. Hopefully the cobbler can give you some ideas about whether the strap issue on the Sanita’s can be fixed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3#post-2200355 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 12:10:38 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2200355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do you guys think? I’m in the street car on the way to the pool, so can’t put them on, but I have these two(!) pairs with me. </p> <p>The store I was looking forward to—lillabror—is still there, but has in the meantime become a grocery store that also sells Weleda products. The remaining shoes are in the back room &amp; fairly disorganized. We did find a pair of cheery red Sanitas with ankle straps in my size. But I convinced the store owner to give me until Tuesday to return them, because the strap is so long that my foot moves away from the shoe fairly far when I walk. The deal is that I take it to a shoemaker to see the strap can be shortened and then reattached.<br /> Then, just a couple blocks away, on the way to the streetcar, I happened to come across a shop that had many clog-type shoes in the window. They had the wine red ones which fit me perfectly with no repairs, but they are a lesser-known brand, Hee. It is Spanish, and I know there are quite a few good quality brands from there but I’m still not sure. I usually go for quality. </p> <p>Both pairs feel light on my feet, but the Hees are more pleasurable to walk in right now, with no repairs. I’ve got two birds in the hand and need to put one of them back in the bush.</p> <p>Besides wearing them to the graduation, I’d want to wear them casually, with jeans as well as with other skirts &amp; dresses. Maybe some shorts too. The Sanitas might go with my red pants; the Hees will not</p> <p>Suntiger, I wish I’d known that when I walked past the Birks shop in Scheinenviertel the other day. That’s the shopping district I was excited about exploring after the shutdowns. I spent two afternoons there this week, nearly went into the Birkenstock store, but there was a line because of Covid procedures, so I skipped it. Wah-waaaaaaahh sad trombones. But now I have these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3#post-2200343 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 11:40:36 +0000 Anonymous 2200343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sandal type ones more with the skirt outfit- instead of the more closed higher vamp ones. Those would work better with pants to my eye. </p> <p>Do Birks work for your feet? <a href="https://www.birkenstock.com/us/mary-ring-buckle-natural-leather/maryringbuckle-pureleather-naturalleather-0-tpu-w_1578.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.birkenstock.com/us....._1578.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3#post-2200339 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 11:11:47 +0000 Kathie 2200339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Dansko Taci is also cute- looks like it comes in black, tan, and denim.</p> <p><a href="https://www.dansko.com/taci-denim-waxy-calf" rel="nofollow">https://www.dansko.com/taci-denim-waxy-calf</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clogs-3#post-2200338 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 10:44:26 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2200338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kathie—that Danske is exactly what I’m looking for! </p> <p>Zaeobi, a back strap is a must—clogs are no exception to my usual rules for clothing—must be able to run, climb a fence, throw &amp; catch, generally act like I’m 8 years old. </p>
