Shoecabulary: Clogs

Clog: The Oxford English Dictionary defines a clog as a "thick piece of wood", and later as a "wooden soled overshoe" and a "shoe with a thick wooden sole". Clogs are found in three main varieties: wooden upper, wooden soled and overshoes (see illustrations on the right for typical forms).

It took me some time to adjust to to the chunkiness of a clog, but they're comfortable, can be worn with your outfits from day to dinner and even out dancing. Clogs might be a girl's best friend after diamonds. I'm pushing it. Clogs are in a category all their own and since New York is warming up you might find me trotting in these around the city.

A few clog brands make sizes 10s, 11s and a few 12s.

Try Dansko for your size.
