I never really liked the Boston clog, since I have a high instep. Bern works very well for me, and I love them.

As per usual, if you are planning on wearing them with socks, it is still easier to wear them around the house without socks for a little while, to cut down on the "sock stickiness" of the suede insole.

Edited to note that this is labeled as a women's shoe, but like a great many Birks, they are completely unisex.
