I got these a month ago and wore them all over Rome for 2 weeks- they were great! I have wide feet with painful bunions, and these worked out surprisingly well. I got the 9W (my usual size) and that was perfect. The elastic is nice and forgiving, and the egg crate footbed is supportive and soft. I wish the soles had a little more traction. The first couple of 12-hour days of walking the ruins, my toes did rub against the leather top and get slightly irritated, but I have very few shoes that wouldn't do that after such long, hot days. I would buy them again.

Overall, the shoes are comfortable, exceptional arch support; however, I am and always have been a size 9 - 9.5. After reading some of the reviews, I tussled a bit on what size to order, a 39, or 40. Unsure, I ordered both. Upon receipt, the very next day -- thank you Zappos, I tried both pairs on and the 40 was a perfect fit. On the other hand, the 39 fit...but my foot was almost hanging off the back edge. Not all that noticeable, but it bothered me, so I am sending the 39 back. As for the appearance, my husband hates them because as others have pointed out they are big clunky shoes, but in my opinion the colors help to over shadow the clunkiness...I ordered the leopard hair, and they are adorable. On that note, my only grip, is that the sizing is off, but Zappos return/exchange policy eases the pain. All that said, if you are contemplating on whether to order these shoes, get them and in the color that catches your eye; but, and heed this advice, order a size up from your 'normal' size. So, if you are a '9', order size 40, not 39.

With the ever-growing popularity of the easy on and off dynamic of these shoes, both Clogs and Mules can be seen everywhere you go today on men, women, and children.
Clogs and Mules are no longer exclusive to the hard wooden shoes worn by the Dutch or worn just for gardening. With popular brands for men and women like Dansko, Merrell, Ugg, and Birkenstock, your choices of styles, materials, colors, and heel heights are unlimited. Though the more popular material is suede or leather, you can also buy clogs or mules in a variety of fabrications such as canvas, nylon, EVA rubber and wool.
Clogs and mules are becoming more and more popular in the workforce, especially for jobs that require long hours on your feet. From waiters and cooks, to nurses and doctors, clogs take care of your feet so you can take care of something else. Look for brands like Nurse Mates and Skechers for the added comfort insoles, slip resistant outsoles and easy to clean uppers. Brands like SoftWalk and Timberland are even jumping in and offering clogs and mules for casual work shoes as well.
Don’t just limit clogs and mules to the workforce, though. Brands like Keen, Naot and Lassen are making dress-casual clogs and mules for both men and women for those relaxing weekend getaways. And with Ugg and Bearpaw, you can even find clogs and mules with sheepskin lining to wear around the house for true slipper comfort and to keep your feet warm on cold nights.
Clogs and mules are especially well-suited for travelling. With their easy on/off sensibility, getting through security checkpoints is much less of a hassle with clogs or mules on your feet. Look for stylish yet comfortable slip-ons from Clarks and Josef Seibel for your get-out-of-town needs.

Don’t forget to get a pair for that special little one as well. Clogs and mules are not just for men and women. Clogs and mules are growing more and more in popularity with kids these days due to the on and off easiness and casual vibe of these shoes. Go for a more traditional clog look by Sanita Kids or allow them to show off their creative side with the adorable Polliwalks clog. Kids’ clogs and mules today come in a wide range of fun styles, bright colors, and durable materials.
There’s good reason these shoes have lasted the test of time and have been worn by people as far back as the 18th century. The slip-on convenience of clogs and mules just can’t be beat.
