***Updating my review: Changing from 4 stars to 5 stars. Nearly 10 months later, these clogs have become my go-to shoe. I wear them ALL the time and they still look and feel great. They have softened a bit, but there is almost no visible scuffing or other wear. They're very comfortable, and appropriate for both casual and professional wear. I've worn them for walks on the beach, to job interviews and out dancing. I'm happy to say I've never fallen in them.

These definitely run small. I always wear a 9.5 or 10, so I ordered the size 40, but ended up returning them and getting the 41 (10.5/11), which fit perfectly.

I love the way they look. The tooled leather is so beautiful and interesting. I bought them to wear for both job interviews and as an everyday casual/professional shoe. After a week or two of wear (including scraping them under cafe tables and chairs), they show no signs of scuffing. I think they'll hold up well for many years to come.

They're also very comfortable on my feet. However, like many other clogs, the hard heel feels a bit unstable for walking. I once fell head-first down some stairs in (another) pair of Dansko clogs, so I'm a little nervous. I also slide around a bit in this backless style. But they're too beautiful to forgo, so I'll take my chances.
