Cordani Women''s Zorina Slingback Sandal, Leather Black, size 40

These fun clogs look great with skinny jeans and short skirts, and are easy to walk in. They are real wood and nice leather, well-crafted and versatile with fun patterned socks or colorful tights.. My only complaint is that the size 8 is a bit loose on my 9 and 5/8 inch-long feet, making them slip a bit as I stride, causing the open vamp to rub uncomfortably on my instep—if I stroll in them, I''m fine, but swift walking requires a bandaid under my socks.

I normally wear a spot-on 36 (US size 6) or 37 (6.5) in very high heels. Cordani shoes seem to run about a half size large. I have bought this brand before and I knew I should have sized down a bit and didn''t, I bought them in a size 37... oops!!! Not a deal breaker though; add an insole to them and they fit much better. The back strap is not adjustable. They are a bit wide (they are clogs, after all) so if your feet are narrow they might not work for you. I think these will look quite retro-stylish with skirt or trousers.
