these clogs were way too tight on my left foot across the dorsal arch.  the right foot was fine.  i tried to order a bigger size but all the sudden it wasn't available in the black lace i wanted.  so i decided instead of returning them for my money back, i would try to cut them open.  if you want a do-it-yourself project resulting in unprofessional looking clogs, then by all means, these are the shoes for you.  they would have been perfect if they weren't poorly sized.  ps. my left foot is not larger that my right foot.  i measured because i like science and i needed to know this about myself.  it might end up working out when i fix the shoe to my specification.  but still, not a clean appearance anymore is it?
