I started wearing clogs when I was 12 in 1971. I love them, gotta have them in my life. I love MIA, too. But this clog has an ugly silhouette. The shape is not pleasing-- heel width too narrow or something. I may be too fussy, but I sent them back. I have spent time in Europe where I was able to buy clogs in all kinds of places. It seemed I could always find a visually pleasing wooden base-- haven't seen that for several years. They weren't as clunky [LOL] as they seem to be now, had more style. Oh, well.
