I am a bit of a shoe snob. I love a freaky, unique, weird shoe and am willing to pay for the luxury. So trust me when I say that no one was more surprised than I was when I found myself falling head over heels for a pair of FitFlop clogs. Not only are they the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned, but they look shockingly chic no matter how they are styled — and I regret to inform you that they’re worth every penny.
I came to these shoes in a very circuitous manner. I have officially reached the age where I need to be wearing supportive shoes at all times — no more padding around my house barefoot. I didn’t want to sacrifice comfort for style in my quest to find the perfect house shoe, and spent months researching options. When Emily Ruane, shopping managing editor and longtime FitFlop stan, recommend the brand’s clogs, I scoffed — but upon further evaluation, I grew more and more intrigued.
I eventually ordered two pairs of the Shuv clogs, one in smooth leather and the second in shearling. I figured the former could be my “warm weather house shoe” while the latter would serve as a “cold weather house shoe.”
The moment I stepped into the leather clogs, I realized I couldn’t keep them confined to the interiors of my apartment. The thick, soft leather is incredibly supple and requires practically zero break-in time. They are now perfectly molded to my high-arched feet and always look incredibly stylish and high-end.
