This just in: Clogs are going to be big this spring. And I have my first pair!
Check it out: Zen Blossom Cape Clogs are totally cute – and are a Swedish tradition going back decades. They have a heel, which makes them “fashionable” – but yet are deceptively comfortable.
This, my friends, is why I appreciate this type of sandal. I hate that there seems to be a distinction: Fashion vs. Functional. Why??? Why can’t we have shoes that feel good and look good?
Apparently, we can. And now I do.
Note: These clogs have a leather upper. We do not support the …read more
