So, I fell in love with these clogs the first time I saw them, but I had a dilemma--The other Swedish brand that makes a nearly identical sandal like this were well out of my price range.But I thought that there must be a reason for the extreme price difference.I tried on the more expensive pair, loved them, but purchased these ones instead.It only took 14 calendar days for these beauties to arrive, and the quality is amazing.Not only are they flawless, (the staples are even and perfect, the leather is soft and yet strong, the wood is solid and beautiful, but also light enough to make these easy to wear all day, the buckle is high quality and I think it will last a super long time).. but they are also adorable, and I cannot find any reason why the other brand is so much more expensive!!! (except maybe being a trendy brand worn by Sarah Jessica Parker?!)The color is as pictured, at least as it appears on my screen.They are a rich and beautiful primary cherry redI am on my feet all day, and need shoes that are practical and comfortable, and these fit the bill.I can stand in them all day, and have no pain (after the initial hours it took to get them broken in, of course).If you have not owned leather clogs before, it might be useful to note that sometimes they start off a bit tight-I wear a 7 1/2 US, and a 38 is about perfect for me, but I needed to wear them a few hours to get them to loosen up and conform to my feet more.The more I wear them, the better they get, and after a while I am sure they will be perfectly molded to my feet.The arch support is good too, and if you need more arch support, you could add a arch support pad.But for me, they feel great as they are.
There is another reason why I rate these clogs so highly, and that is the amazing customer service I received from Lotta from Stockholm.I emailed inquiring about size, shipping, and availability and I received an answer within one hour! (mind you, they are in the UK, and I expected to have to wait a bit for a reply) Later follow up questions took a few hours to receive a reply, but Lotta and Jonny were quick and incredibly helpful.I ended up purchasing another pair from their site, that are actually factory seconds, and found them to be equally superb and wonderful.I have seldom had such great experiences with sellers, and if you are in the market for clogs, I highly recommend them.Also, they were very straightforward and wonderful about their return policy.They said that they could send exchanges back for free, as long as the customer pays for shipping the original item back, and they even offered to pay the shipping insurance for me if I needed to send them back.Regarding sizing, they sent me a detailed sizing chart, and confirmed that sizing is similar to Sanita clogs, which I already owned, so I could be confident that I would get the right size.(just ask them, they will give you all the info you need!)
The only problem I have now is deciding which of my two pairs to wear!I love them both so much, and my feet say thank you with every step :)
I was surprised to receive these in the mail today i was told they wouldn''t be here for 2-4 weeksyippee!!!I was thrilled to try them on and I haven''t taken them off!The fit is perfect, the quality is impeccable, the style is amazing.I am dreaming up outfits to wear them with all spring and summer.

These shoes are really comfortable, a bit stiff at the beginning (the leather is pretty thick), but after a day or two, they are like slippers! My advice : use waterproofing spray on them and then wear them in the rain> The leather will become much softer and more comfortable.One thing I want to mention is that the shoes are cheaper on Amazon then on their website, so this is a great deal!
The only drawback is that the shoes are coming from the UK and standard shipping does not include tracking, so it is quite stressful to wait for them. They shipped about 2 days after I placed my order, and Amazon was telling me that the delivery would be 3-4 weeks later! Don''t worry about that though, they got here in about 10 days. Amazon is totally overestimating the transit time.These shoes are fantastic.I purchased these and a pair from the "other" Swedish shoe company and these by far are the better shoe.The leather is softer, the fit is more comfortable and the price is way cheaper!I can wear these all day and my feet feel great.I love that the straps keep the shoes on.Lots of times clog-type shoes have a habit of rubbing on the skin causing blisters.Not these shoes.I didn''t have to go through the awkward "break in" time with these.It provides more support and comfort than a standard summer sandal.The red pair is a bright cherry color that looks great with jeans.They shipped from Sweden and arrived earlier than the estimated date.The company provides excellent customer service.Every email or Facebook message was replied to promptly.They emailed notifications when they received my initial order and when my shoes shipped.My only problem is deciding on which color to buy next!I wear a 9 to 9.5so I ordered a 40.However, the arch of the shoe is too far back.Ordering a 41 now.So if you wear a 9.5 you may want to order a 41.
These are very well made, good sturdy leather, but soft on the skin. Gorgeous red color!
The wide heel base makes for safe and easy walking great shoes!
