Gudulitooo Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 The interesting thing with clogs is that you can slip into them very quickly, no time is wasted in lacing up the shoes... Also you don't need nylons as it is a "natural" footwear.
thedesigner Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 pas pour moi, Guidilitooo, mais merci ! Je prefere des shoes avec des heels properes. Pardonnez le franglais, je fais l'effort... Et bon chance ici, vous etes avec un communite tres bon !!
William Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Clogs are great! :wavey:I much prefer them to open back platforms of today. Plus, they make the best sound in the world!
sabotalot Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Nope, never have here. For whatever reason, I love wooden soled shoes (clogs, heels with wood soles, etc) but have never really liked traditional Dutch wooden shoes. High heeled wooden clogs and sandals are the best, but for "normal" wear, I love my Danskos and Bastad clogs. Brian May (of Queen) likes regular clogs, too. He sometime donates his used ones to charity, where they get auctioned on ebay.
Nick-65 Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 First Off, I'm a big fan Of all Rock And Roll!!!, Second, I'm about to order one of the first 2 pairs of Dansko "Margurites" to add to my collection!!!

I also love Skechers sneaker clogs, As well as Nike and Reebok sneeker clogs to name a few, as I collect and wear them all and tonite, I just ordered A pair of Dansko Margurites in brown Latigo leather With the ligh brown sole as I love bthem as well as I'm about to order them in total black as I really love Dansko !!!
flatlander_48 Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Does anyone here like clogs??? Myself, I'm a big fan of Dansko!!! Agreed!! I bought my 4th pair of Danskos a few months ago. Due to an arthritic ankle I can't wear high heels, so Danskos are as close as I can get (with a touch of unisex thrown in!!).
sabotalot Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 For those of you who like the sound of clogs, wait until the rubber/plastic pads on the bottom start to come loose; pull the pads all the way off; the klunking sound that they make in that form is kinda like music! (to me, anyway).
Nick-65 Posted July 7, 2008 Author Posted July 7, 2008 Agreed!! I bought my 4th pair of Danskos a few months ago. Due to an arthritic ankle I can't wear high heels, so Danskos are as close as I can get (with a touch of unisex thrown in!!). My new "Marguretes" will be here tommorrow!!! Agreed!! I bought my 4th pair of Danskos a few months ago. Due to an arthritic ankle I can't wear high heels, so Danskos are as close as I can get (with a touch of unisex thrown in!!). Hey Bub, I just Heard that my "Margurites" in brown pull-up will be here tommorrow as will My "ISOS" Fit-FLops be here next week!!!
Nick-65 Posted July 20, 2008 Author Posted July 20, 2008 Wow, I now have my Dansko Margurites and I now have 2 pairs of Fit-Flops and they too are wonderful!!! As it stands now I now have about a dozen or so pairs of Danskos!!!
shrimper Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 Just took a quick peek at Dansko website and noticed that several styles are sold for both men and women. An example are the models Karl and Sonja: the same shoe except the 'womens' version comes in more colors and finishes. The open-toed and strappy models are distinctly for women but otherwise their stuff is all unisex.
HHfanatic Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 I really like clogs, I dont have any pair of heeled clogs thow. To see a slim woman in tight jeans and high heeled clogs make me spin.
sabotalot Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I've bought 7 pairs at Kohl's and 1 pair through EBAY. All were ladie's size 11 but they fit my guy's size 10's perfectly.
gwl1 Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Clogs and mules are great to wear in public. They usually have a rounded front and a high vamp, so they look more like unisex boots or men's shoes than anything feminine. It's not difficult to walk in them at all, and in fact it can be a lot of fun. I am wearing my Clark's Octavia clogs in black today. See http://www.amazon.com/Clarks-Womens-Octavia-Clog/dp/B000PIH72Q/ref=pd_sbs_a_img_1 and read the reviewers' comments. Mine are even posted there as well! Thanks, Amazon, for posting a man's review of (supposedly) women's shoes! I walked past a store window on my way to work this morning and looked at the reflection of my heel peaking out from under my long jeans as I walked. I liked the look of the narrow, three-inch, tapered heel - definitely not a masculine heel, but not very feminine either. I didn't get any comments or stares from anybody I saw in the post office or bank. Then I walked 1/2 mile to work, and they were fun and comfortable all the way. I highly recommend clogs and mules for public heeling, especially if you're not ready to do stiletto pumps yet. The biggest plus is that they are wife-approved! Mrs. GWL said the other day that these clogs have too high and too narrow of a heel to wear with shorts or capris, but she's fine with them with long jeans. I couldn't be happier. GWL
sabotalot Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I perfer somthing more like these from Shoes USA They got to have a heel! I'll reply, saying that the Dana/ Karen style is a style that I like, and wear often.
Nick-65 Posted August 16, 2008 Author Posted August 16, 2008 Agreed!! I bought my 4th pair of Danskos a few months ago. Due to an arthritic ankle I can't wear high heels, so Danskos are as close as I can get (with a touch of unisex thrown in!!). I'd still love to hear alot more from you fine folks on this subject!!! Nick:wavey:
thatotherguy Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 sorry to say, but I never liked them... its not like I find them ugly or anything, its just that I tend to like things on the more "formal" side breaking social norms is a hobby of mine
HappyFeat Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I have tired clogs and think they are a nice alternative for guys, however I just never felt comfortable with a shoes that has no back (mules and slides included.) The closest I get is a slingback. Style is built from the ground up!
sabotalot Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I opened my AOL account today, and spotted a headline: "Don't wear 'Crocs' to work". Well, no kidding. I wouldn't wear those ugly things to take out the garbage. If you want clogs, wear the real thing such as Dansko or Bastad-Troentorp, etc.
Nick-65 Posted August 22, 2008 Author Posted August 22, 2008 Me personaly, I love my Danskos, Klogs, As well as my Crocs and others.
sabotalot Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 For me, any brand except "Crocs". With all those holes, they might as well be made of Swiss cheese. And don't wear them on the Escalator. Their sticky texture allows them to be sucked in between the Escalator and the Escalator wall. This fact was on tv news a few months ago. Dansko, Bastad-Troentorp, etc., are safer and better-looking.
Nick-65 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Posted February 1, 2009 Look Folks, I'm thoroughy and toatly interested in reviving this thread as I'm looking to hear more from all of you regaurding clogs and sandals as well as pants, shorts, and Capris aswell as tops and what all goes together espicialy to excite and attract the ladies???? Regards, Nick!!!
Dr. Shoe Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I love high heel clogs. I have several pairs I wear round the house and sometimes leave them just inside the front door so I can slip them on when I take my muddy boots off.

Dawn HH Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I don't own any clogs and they never really appealed to me so I have had no desire to purchase any. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
Nick-65 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 Just got done browsing at the new styles and colors of dansko and sanita and I can't make up my mind which ones that I like for spring & summer!
William Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 It's been a long time since I've worn clogs. I bought a new pair the other day. So far, loving them. I used to have some wood sole shoes like "candies" a long time ago but they bit the dust several years ago. A friend of mine that had no idea how into heels I am looked down at my clogs and says, "Could you find a more gay pair of shoes to wear?". My response, "I could, but it would blow your mind to pieces." After that he was cool. What do you guys think about clogs? Wear them?
RonC Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Sorry, but I've never liked that style. On men or women, matters not to me.
HappyFeat Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 ... My response, "I could, but it would blow your mind to pieces." After that he was cool. Excellent comeback! Now that's confidence! As for clogs, I have tried them, never liked them much myself. But I am into more shoes of the more "mind blowing" variety. Style is built from the ground up!
