Comfortable shoes make for wiser, kinder humans.

I used to have a pair of clogs in the early 90s. They were the best shoes for walking around in all day. Better than boots or trainers.
Personally I think you should ban Heather from wearing any coloured or high heeled shoes and see how long it takes her to give in.
Fight the good fight! Clogs rock.

Australian podiatrists really seem to love clogs and their long social history.

A friend of mine was wearing a pair of Crocs last summer and when I asked why he was wearing such, um, unusual shoes he said “they’re really cool, you can wear them all summer, never wash them and they won’t smell like feet.” So, I do suppose that’s *one* reason to wear those gawd awful shoes. Just please promise not to wear orange ones with socks like Mario Batali.

Okay, here’s the deal. If you really want the clogs back like I think you do, you’re gonna HAVE to take things to the next level: do some gardening in Heather’s new pink shoes from SF…

I’ll bet Chuck Norris wears clogs.

I love Crocs. Actually, I have the Airwalk version of Crocs. But death would be me if I wore anything else to work for 12 hour shifts. I tried Nike Airs, and they stink to high-heaven. And they make my feet hot. And they make my legs hurt. Long live the clog!

I’ve never tried Crocs, but woe to the fool who tries to snatch my Merrells!!! I’ve been a clog lover since the early 70’s–proof of CLOG LONGEVITY. Clogs can and will outlast any resistance. I say Heather should give in now and save her energy for fights that CAN be won.

clogs rule. where do i enlist?
just got my second pair, looking for baby blue ones…

I dunno. Are we talking about wearing the clogs out in public, or are we talking about wearing the clogs for household chores like say, cleaning up dog poop? If it’s the former, I’m gonna have to side with Team Dooce.

Jon, you are too good lookin’ of a fellow to wear those things. Trust Heather on this one, for she knows of what she speaks.
Think George Michael in the video for “Wake me up before you go-go”. That George Michael totally would have worn clogs. Don’t be that George Michael, man.

I’m with you Jon! Unite!

I figure if it’s good enough for Google, it’s good enough for me.

No Amanda B., you’re wrong! Clogs are wonderful!

Clogs and Crocs rock. You win.

I think this is Sarah Jessica Parker wearing a big ol’ pair of bright blue clogs: http://members.aol.com/DollChild/clogs.jpg
I like clogs, but even if I didn’t I would support your right to wear them (and Heather’s right to hate them). Hope you can work out some kind of detente!

CLOGS RULE!
Much as I adore your wife, I am with you here Jon. I have been wearing clogs for years and don’t give a flying fuck whether they look cool or stylish, they are easy comfortable and fabulous!

Heh, although I HATE the pink shoes and the fact that the former congressman suffered such disrepect, you are NOT still in Amsterdam. Geez….it is all about EARTH SHOES! But in the real world…it is ALWAYS (well, most of the time) TEAM DOOCE!!! Get a grip and give it up!
Love ya!

CLOG POWER!!!
I gotta side with you on this one Blurb…CLOGS FOR EVERYONE!!!
June 22nd, 2006 at 9:08 pm
I am completely with you. When I first purchased my Dansko clogs I hated taking them off….ugly or not, happy mama means happy family.
June 22nd, 2006 at 9:51 pm
Those clogs are as ugly as sin, but some of my most comfortable cloths and shoes have been at least as ugly. So while I’ve no desire to join your army of cloggers; I’ll be happy to be non-combatant, clog-sympathizer.

Clogs are a mainstay in nursing and after seeing my cohorts in their Crocs I had to buy some too. However you have to question the mentality of wearing clogs with holes in them while mopping up body fluids that have slid down the bed of your patient. I’ll stick with my Birks or Dansko and leave the Crocs for the army.
