I don't usually buy the wood soled clogs. these caught my attention with the leather and contrasting stitching. Reminds of catcher's mitt. I purchased these with the intention of mostly likely returning them. I was wrong, these are comfortable, they fit perfectly even with my thick socks. I Think the height of the heel is what made a difference for me this time. They are beautiful and go well with Jeans. My only complaint about them is that the wood inside the shoe isn't too smooth, so it snags socks. I'll probably wear them barefoot with feet loaded with lotion to help burnish the inside. They are beautifully hand crafted shoes. Thank you, for not disappointing.
