Sure I was immediately thrown by the words "Classic Orthopedic" that were on the box, but soon as I opened the box and saw these gorgeous red clogs I was in shoe love. There is enough of a heel to add a little height and flatter the leg, but low enough to walk around comfortably. They are adorable shoes. They are comfortable and the size 6 (36) was true to size and fit perfect. I can't wait to order more.
