Gone Cloggin': The Affordable Edition


Thanks to Chanel and Miu Miu, the fashion crowd has been embracing the new clog trend whole-heartedly. Well, not entirely whole-heartedly. There are definitely those who can't seem to look past the hated clogs of yesteryear. I understand, but my main hesitation when it comes to putting those backless babies on my feet has been entirely different. Sure, clogs are clogs, but I like 'em. Have you seen Alexa Chung in them? Super cute! My problem is that they're always so darn expensive. And yes, in my opinion, $100 Jeffery Campbell shoes are expensive. So what to do? As an obsessive online fashion geek, it was a simple matter to troll the web for some cheaper options. And since I made the effort, now you don't have to! You're welcome. Check it out:




1. Payless, $24.99. I'm rather partial to this pair, actually, although I couldn't tell you if they look really cheap in person. I do like that they're a reasonable height, though, and you know I'm always down for anything with studs.

2. Target, $24.99. Studs again! And they're from Target, aka my faaaavorite store! Clogs, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

3. Baker's Shoes, $69.99. These ones look a lot more like the Chanel ones people have been raving about. Only they're about a million times cheaper. Go get 'em, Tiger.

Oh, girls... This clog style is not new, and when it appeared a few decades back, doctors warned us of dire consequences. Notably sprained and broken ankles.

Did we listen? We did not.

Did we sprain and break our ankles? We did. I sprained an ankle so badly while wearing a pair of these cool clogs that my doctor told me I would have been better off if it had broken instead.

We didn't listen and neither will you. But please, take a good look at those shoes--see how easy it would be for them to tip over, with your ankle completely unsupported?--and wear them only when you will be walking slowly on extremely even pavement.

Those three shoes are so stunning. I wish I can wear those shoes. The only question in my mind is if I can manage to wear that kind of high heels. It looks heavy.
