I purchased these shoes because I needed something with a closed toe for winter.  I have purchased three other pairs of FitFlops that were sandals and they have really helped my foot problems.  I also purchased and gave away a pair of the sneakers made by FitFlop because they were not comfortable and I have a pair of FitFlop boots that sit in my closet because they are unstylish and not particularly comfortable either.  I find these clogs to be comfortable and adequate for my needs but not remotely stylish.  They are black suede which I am hoping is not as noticeable under black pants. I have been very happy with the styling of the sandals choices that FitFlop offers but not the styling of their close toed shoes and boots.  The clog is a compromise solution for me.  It is not attractive (at least in size 10) but it is as comfortable as the flip flops that FitFlop makes.  This style runs small. I have purchased a size 10 flip flop and they ran so large that I wished they sold half sizes so I could purchase a 9 1/2.  These clogs run small compared to those.  I don't know why FitFlop is so inconsistent in their sizing.  I recommend that customers read reviews carefully before buying FitFlops for sizing and comfort issues.
