These shoes are very well-made. The color and pattern is exactly as illustrated. They are stiffer than other clogs, such as Crocs, much more shoe like. The quality of materials and workmanship is top shelf, extremely high. My only problem is that I have a bunion on one foot and the width of the toebox is not wide enough to  accommodate my bunion comfortably. I am looking into having that area of the shoe stretched by a cobbler.  But that is my issue, not an issue with the shoes themselves.  However, these may not be the perfect garden shoes for someone with very old and well-used feet.
