| | | Clogs
I just bought some clogs. I have been after a decent pair for ages now and have gotten some called Crocs. I wear clogs in theatre during the day and they are very comfy when you are on your feet all day so I thought I would get some for fashion. I bought a nice funky light blue pair. Now I am excited about getting them delivered. I like that feeling. |

Thats a ladies site. They are unisex clogs, very comfy. I think you would like them and they are very good for your feet too. |

Clogs don't do anything for me i'm afraid...........not the sort of thing i would wear although i am sure you are right with the comfort and good for your feet bit. |

I do like my shoes. I am a bit of an Imelda Marcos when it comes to shoes. Is there as saying 'shoes maketh the man'. Is that right? |

Is that right? | I'm not quite up to Imelda's standard but do like unusual shoes, have you heard of swear shoes? Also very comfortable, I have a pair that seem to be almost as wide as they are long and make my feet look like ducks feet a bit - that's probably why I like them!!
Proper clogs always seem to rub my feet, I have a pair of art shoes that are pretty clog like but softer and kinder to my feet  |

Yes I am a Gazelle or Stan Smith fan. Anything old school. Not really into the new styles, maybe only some Prada but for me hobnail boots are my fave, or Italian shoes for work. Flip flops I liked alot last year but this year will be clogs all over the place in loads of different colours |

I'm not sure ummm I even know what that means..... filleting fish slimy- slippy guts and scales?
I tried the wooden ones, they hurt my feet though. The ones I have now are not really clogs - only clog like in inspiration, like a clog / flip flop / trainer hybrid  |

Only because... well, I don't know about your waders but mine smell quite strongly of fish (for some unknown reason) and fishy custard is more than enough to turn my stomach...... |
