This is probably just another of my attempts to get a bunch of people who don't even know me to assuage my buyer's remorse over something I'll inevitably end up returning anyway. But if you're still with me after that enticing intro, I truly would appreciate some input on these clogs. I love them, and I really need a cool-weather alternative to boots to wear with longer-length jeans. But they are a little pricey for me, and I'm worried that the dark color won't work with spring clothes (I have them in brown).

What do you think? Will this clogs trend last long enough to justify the cost? And will the color work for spring, or do I need something lighter?
