Advice on clogs

[joliejolie]

Are they the next big thing or just the easist way to annoy everyone I pass in the street?

I love them, but wonder if I am just being nostalgic for my childhood in the 70's. Shall I buy them if I want and forget how noisy and impractical they are?

[joliejolie]

These are the ones I want.

[cahu]

They are lovely, jj. I guess if SJP is photographed wearing the Hasbeens in the new Sex and the City film, they are the way to go!

[traceybath]

Jolie - I've got those in chestnut - arrived yesterday and I'm really pleased with them.

Also have the hasbeens on my wish list.

[silverdogflower]

Buy them buy them buy them. Look cool, feel comfy, very eco-whatsit, last forever, what's not to like?

[tethersend]

I've ordered some red Swedish Hasbeens and am awaiting their arrival. Can't decide whether they are what I have hankered after since childhood or crocs with heels

Time will tell...

[dexter73]

They are really nice. I also love the ones SJP has in the new film.

i am keenly waiting arrival of hasbeens in poste mistress. do post when yours arrive tethersend.

Love clogs - have never stopped wearing them actually. HAve a nice bronze pair from Plumo from a couple of years ago.
I think it is all based on memories of 70's childhood too - always, always wanted clogs/wedges, always fobbed off with start-rite or whatever!
I do think they fall into the category of shoe that men hate, not that that matters an iota!

[tethersend]

They have some here which are cheaper than I've seen elsewhere.

i want mules i think 41, must try on.

[tethersend]

That's what I've ordered, fishie- and in a 41 I will let you know how they come up.

[fishie]

ooh good. quelle coleur?

i was a bit put off by all that talk of extra long and normal wrists.

[tethersend]

Hmm, I know. I glossed over it and am just hoping they'll fit.

I got the red ones, although am now wishing I'd got black. I just wanted red ones when I was 7.

[isthatporridgeinyourhair]

Tethersend - no red sounds great. Have bought these but am wanting to channel Olivia NJ (minus the satin skinnies)in the red clogs. They would look cool with a stripey top and jeans. Anyway even DH commented on how much he liked the ones I bought- which is unheard of!

[tethersend]

I got my hasbeens this morning- they are fab

Fit perfectly- was worried they would be too narrow but not at all. Glad I got the 41 though, as the length is not generous.

[traceybath]

What do you think of these.

I was going to get these in natural

Which do you think?

[isthatporridgeinyourhair]

Tethersend - is the red as gorgeous as it looks?

[Nezzi]

I've been looking at the recent posts on here re clogs & to be honest, I'm feeling the urge...
How -comfortable- fabulous are they in RL?

[Thelongroadhome]

Oh, Traceybath, I quite like the look of those topshop ones - I really cant justify spending the cash on the Hasbeens although I do love the high ones the most. I'm just thinking that I wont get that much wear out of them and that they will probably only be one season (although I thought that about Uggs!!)

[tethersend]

The red is nice and rich, very happy.

They are much more comfortable than I thought, they don't feel that high.

tracey, I would get the topshop ones; my betting is that they are just as well made as the hasbeens.

[Chandon]

They are lovely!

I like them, I think they would look really nice with jeans skirt (shortish ones).

Just a question, I am 6ft1 and I am too tall to wear them, aren´t I??? (as they have such a chunky heel). Yes I am

[fishie]

oooh tethersend tell me more...

i have got short feet with long toes and high instep. hasbeens are sounding very good for my flippers.

[diddl]

I love clogs & sabots.

Have a pair of pink suede clogs & a "traditional" leather/wood pair-which I even bike in!

[tethersend]

What size are you fishie?

[fishie]

41 in boden. actually i think i am a 41 in everything now, feet never went back to pre-pg size.

diddl i swoon for pink suede.
