Womens clogs. Have only worn 1 day but they are sooo comfortable. Like a lot of reviews say, the heel seems to slip a lot, but I expect that to go away once broken in. I got the leather ones that look like tooled leather and they are beautiful. Look like tooled boots when worn with long pants.Classy, attractive, comfortable. Highly recommend. I can't wear Dansko. But I can wear Klogs.LoveKlog shoesI am pretty much a round the clock clog wearer in cool weather, and was looking for a nice clog to replace my Danskos. I have worn Danskos for almost 17 years now, but the arthritis in the top of my feet (thanks to a long nursing career) has gotten to the point that they were hurting me to wear. I was also falling a lot, because the narrow heel on the Dansko caused my ankle to suddenly twist and give way, so I needed something with a wider and more stable heel.I wear a size 39 in Danskos, and a size 8 M US in this shoe fit exactly perfect straight out of the box for me, so I would agree with the previous reviewers who said they run large. I do not take a wide shoe, and do not have wide feet, but I did not feel that these were for people with excessively wide feet, as also noted in previous reviews. The toe is wider than a Dansko, yes, but not so much that it is excessive or comical. It would be a good shoe for someone with bunions, for example, because it does not squeeze the ball of the foot or the toes. The shoe has absolutely fantastic cushioning. It is like stepping into a bed of marshmallows when you put them on for the first time. I wore these as my only shoe on a two week trip to Europe, and trekked all over the countryside, cities, castles, and small villages in nothing but these shoes. They were perfect, and my feet were never sore at the end of the day. The tooled leather is absolutely beautiful, and makes an otherwise utilitarian shoe look much more attractive and fashionable.A few caveats about these shoes, however. The heel slips with each step, regardless of any anti-heel slip insert tried. Because the lining of the shoe IS so soft and cushioned, however, there was zero blister formation or heel/ankle irritation. I was initially concerned I would end up with a blister on each ankle, but this never happened, and the heel slip was not bothersome or uncomfortable, so it was not a problem. Because there is so much cushioning in the sole of these shoes, it is impossible to wear orthotics or inserts of any kind without pushing your foot almost completely out of the shoe from all the stuffing. Even a slim odor eater insole is too much. If you must wear orthotics or any kind of insert, be aware that you will have to remove the cushioned insert that comes with this shoe, and it will not be as soft. Lastly, there is a lot of room in the toe of the shoe, yes, but that did cause me to develop a small blister on the pinkie toe of each foot, because my toes rubbed the inside of the shoe as I walked. This happens to me when I wear crocs, too, so it could just be that I have sensitive feet. Regardless, the blisters developed. They were small and minor and not terribly uncomfortable, but definitely noticeable after a few days. I had moleskin on hand, though, so again, this was not a problem.Overall I think these are excellent shoes, and I am thrilled with the purchase. I will be recommending them to my nursing colleagues as an alternative to Danskos.These shoes are extremely comfortable and fit my feet very well. I'm an 8 1/2 medium. They aren't as beautiful as Dansko clogs, so, I keep my Dansko's for when I want to look good but wear these most of the time. I bought Black. If I could afford it I would definitely buy the brown leather and one of the patterned pairs.I really love this shoe but it runs large. I take a 7 Wide in Eastland, New Balance, Clark’s, Naturalizers, Sketcher’s, etc. However, I had to return these shoes because they were HUGE! My foot slid down into toe box and left an inch gap in the heel. I did exchange for a size 7 Medium and I’m hoping they fit. They are so nice looking.A little back story: I have big feet. Always have. I already have a pair of these at home that are smooth black. I use them for work, but they are two years old and getting a little worn out. I had gotten a size 10 and then paid to have them stretched at the local shoe shop. The reason for this is the place I got them (not Amazon) said they only came in wide width for size 11 (my actual shoe size.)So I went looking elsewhere when it was time to get new ones, since I already knew what size I needed I figured online ordering would be just fine. Imagine my surprise when I found a size 11 in medium width! I order them, they came and I tried them on. They are a little more loose then what I am used to but feel much better then the ones I had to have stretched. Again these are work shoes. I work 10 hour days 4 days a week mostly standing so comfort is of great importance. I have worn them twice now (I alternate with a pair of expensive athletic shoes to make both last longer and to keep my feet happy) and find them very comfortable. My feet are not tired when I am done with my work day. The slight loose feeling is doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would. All in all a great shoe for people on their feet all day. Way better then Danskos (Danskos make my feet hurt)Pros: very comfortable, cool understated look, fits like most clogs but with more cushionCons: slightly large (which is really typical of clog styles in general no matter the brand.) For me a half size smaller would have fit better but I am wearing these and they work just fine. No blisters, my feet are happyKlogs are the most durable and dependable footwear. Healthcare kills your feet and knees. Klogs are a must.I purchased a pair of these a few years ago and loved them. I found this pair on amazon but they did not have the colour i wanted. thought i would try this style with the design even tho i really did not like the colour. But i loved them. the design is very soft and does not stand out a lot and the colour is really nice. the fit was perfect. I have very wide feet and problem feet. I have large orthotics so i need a deep shoe. These are perfect. Highly recommend if you have bunions, hammer toes and any other problems.As you can see leather is breaking down to brown with cracks. Soles are barely broken in.I am completely dissatisfied as my last pair I wore for several years even replacing insoles once.12 hour shifts ! My feet are so happy!!! Wish I had these years ago!!!!The fit was good. For mer personally there is to much heel for me. Otherwise great product.Have only owned these for eight weeks and only worn 2-3 days a week( part time) and the pattern is already peeling. Very disappointed Kloggs USA
