The Definitive Guide to Shopping For Your Perfect Women’s Dress Clogs

In addition to handling patients, bodily fluids, contaminants, and spills can all lead to slips and falls. And that hard hospital floor is quite unforgiving.  Eliminate this problem by choosing nursing clogs with slip-resistant soles which will help to keep you safe and on your feet during your shift.

Ideally, the dress clogs you buy should be for a specific purpose. But comfort should be high on the list. The most comfortable women’s dress clogs are ones that fit correctly. And depending on the size, width and structure of the clogs, different clogs for women will fit differently.

• Why am I shopping for women’s dress clogs?
• What pair of clogs do I really need or want?
• Are they for a specific occasion or for everyday wear?
• What clog style am I looking for?
• And finally, what’s my budget?

When shopping for a pair of women’s clogs, make sure they fit correctly. Features to keep in mind include sides that are neither too tight or too loose, a comfortable fit at the ball of your foot, and no slipping of your feet while walking. Ill-fitting clogs can cause foot pain and other health problems, so it’s worth your time to ensure your dress clogs fit appropriately.

Most of us prefer to wear our dress clogs all year-round, so you need to know that they can handle different types of weather. Women’s dress clogs should be durable and able to hold their own no matter if it’s hot or cold outside. You can find comfortable dress shoes that are stylish as well.

Whether or not you opt for a heel depends on your preference and what the occasion or dress code is. In general, however, we recommend wearing a lower heel as high heel clogs can cause foot pain and other health problems.

High heel clogs with a heel height of over 2 inches can affect your whole body, from your back to your knees and feet. Your body isn’t meant to walk long distances in them and they’re not comfortable enough to wear day in and day out. They also don’t offer the support you need to make it through a long day. However, sometimes flats just don’t cut it.

It’s good practice to always check customer reviews, whether you’re shopping for dress clogs online or at your favorite department store. Reviews give great feedback and a level of honesty that you can’t get otherwise!

Whenever you’re buying shoes or clogs, whether online or at a store, first read through the reviews so you can have an idea of what issues you may face or what limitations the clogs have. You don’t want to buy super cute dress clogs, get them home only to realize that they’re uncomfortable or they run small or narrow.

Additionally, by reading reviews you can get valuable information regarding their comfort level. Say the clogs you’re buying are for work and you do a lot of walking throughout the day. Or they’re for a special occasion that will require you to be on your feet a lot. Will they hurt the balls of your feet by day’s end or do they work better for someone who mostly drives around to get places or who will be doing more sitting than standing? This is valuable information to have before you buy the clogs.

It’s a good idea to follow these awesome tips too, or to consider them at the very least.

• A good pair of women’s dress clogs should offer all-day comfort and support, preferably with an anatomically contoured footbed, a slightly raised heel, and a padded instep collar. They also shouldn’t pinch or push your toes together.
• Make sure the toe box is roomy enough room so it doesn’t squeeze your toes. Ideally, there should be enough room so you can move your toes comfortably—with some wiggle room. Open-toe dress clogs such as Sandgren’s Morocco Clog Sandal are preferable in the summer while round-toe clogs like Lotta From Stockholm Highwood Clogs work well in the winter months.

• Always opt for quality craftsmanship plus a high quality leather upper which follows the natural contours of your foot. If this means paying a little extra for quality, then go for it! In the long run, there’s a higher cost associated with wearing cheaper clogs.
• Remember to walk around at home in your new dress clogs, preferably not on carpet, for at least 2-3 hours. If you start to experience any pain in that time frame, return them!
• Keep your clog height at a 2-inch maximum. Clogs with a heel over 2 inches are classified by the APMA as high heel clogs. Walking long distances in a heel height over 2 inches can affect your whole body, from your back to your knees and feet. And that’s why podiatrists don’t recommend going beyond a 2- to 3-inch heel. So, if you want to avoid a lifetime of foot pain and other problems, you’ll heed this advice!
• Try considering a stylish pair of low heel clogs instead. The chic MIA Anja Low Platform Clog Sandal or the Sandgren’s New York Low Heel Clog Boots are great options and much more comfortable.
