aka “shoes with a learning curve”.

I finally retired my red Dansko clogs. I got them WAY back in the day right after Dansko came out with the red ones. 10 years ago? 12? Long damn time. I’ve loved those damn clogs, but they were desperately in need of being replaced. And now they finally have been.

My intention was to replace them with a new pair of Danskos in the black latigo. I found some, tried them on, and loved them (of course), and then I saw these:

And that was that.

I knew when I bought them that the soles were wood (with fairly chunky rubber treads on the bottom which are SUPER squeaky on the waxed floors at the office), and you’d think that would have brought up some fairly obvious points:
1 - There is NO flex here, folks. Wood soles are HARD.
2 - Going up stairs in shoes that don’t flex takes some learnin’.
3 - As does driving.
4 - And going down stairs.
They are, mind you, shockingly comfortable.

It wasn’t until I looked them up on The Internets to show to the Booger that I discovered that part of the reason these are SO hard all over? Steel toes. Who knew you could get steel toe clogs. Mas macho is what that is.
