Very high heel clogs


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I was on the Tube (Subway to you guys across the Pond)  the other day and saw a woman wearing exceptionally high heeled clogs. She was probably in her 30s, nicely dressed rather than flamboyant, except for the shoes. The general style was like these:

but with much higher heel, probably 6" with a 1.5" platform. Heel was a little narrower and tapered a little towards the tip. Colour was tan. She walked very nicely in them. I love my Dr Martens "Una" clogs which have a 4" heel (example:  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dr-Martens-Una-Womens-Leather-High-Heel-Mule-Clog-Brown-/200957433958

but the ones I saw were dramatically higher. Any ideas as to what brand they might have been?

 This one's a little too many colors… But that side has a lot of tall clogs.  The problem with tall clogs is that they don't strap securely to the anckle and fall off to easily if to tall.

For your information Xtremhigh heels in Spain make wonderful clogs. Very high and nice shape. 

I have ordered one pair for me.  But to wear at home only. Because you are right,they don't strap securely

Do you have a link?

Definitely higher than the Miumiu clogs linked by Charlotte.

I can't see any clogs on the extremehighheels website but perhaps I'm not looking hard enough. Pierre, can you please link to the model you have ordered?

If clogs fit well they can be easy to walk in despite the heel height and lack of strap. Even without a strap your weight keeps you in them and stops them slipping off. Until you walk backwards when it's all too easy to walk out of them. The woman I saw looked entirely at ease in hers.

I have Steve Madden wedges/clogs with open toes, suede, 1.25 inch platform, 5+ inch heel. These are my "run errands" in shoes. Never had a problems with them slipping off. I have another pair still in the box when these wear out. I love clogs, but with a high arch most are just to tight for me.

I think it could be possible put an ankle strap in this style, would not be much cost and would be so difficult, we could do it without problems.

It's certainly possible. But personally i am afraid the result would be ugly! 

All these nice shapes would be destroyed. 

What do you think?

That has a lip behind the heel that helps them stay on.  It's no longer a clock if you add a strap

And what about the opposite way. From the back ?
