at9 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (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: https://www.thefryecompany.com/emily-clog-d-70415 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? PS: Possibly more like this, but with closed toe: https://15minutegoddess.wordpress.com/2010/07/20/current-obsession-clogs/ Edited September 25, 2017 by at9 Added stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 https://www.vestiairecollective.com/women-shoes/mules-clogs/miu-miu/brown-suede-miu-miu-mules-clogs-4193066.shtml?setLocale=6.en.USD&forceNoRedirect=1&utm_medium=shopbot&utm_source=polyvore_us 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre1961 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

at9 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre1961 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I can't send you the link. On web site. Go on tags: fetish high heels. Page 9 Here the picture 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
at9 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Thanks. That's more extreme than what I saw and has open toes. What I saw had closed toes, they were impressively high but very much not fetish.

Pierre1961 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 For me the only idea to wear these is fetish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 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.

ExtremeHH Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre1961 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 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? Pierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has a lip behind the heel that helps them stay on. It's no longer a clock if you add a strap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
at9 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 I'm not claiming this is a lovely shoe but Sanita are a major maker of clogs both for the workplace and leisure. This has a strap: http://www.sanita.com/Sanita-Stride/ I wear Sanita clogs much of the time, usually these: http://www.sanita.com/mens-karl-pu-black/ Can even just about claim they have a heel as it's about 2" from the back of my foot to the ground.

ExtremeHH Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I'm so courious about the idea of the strap so let me make a drawing of this and show you. Could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtremeHH Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I think it's not bad at all. Think could be make with an elastic piece at the end of the heel foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre1961 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Yes. Not so bad. And what about the opposite way. From the back ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
