When we went into lockdown, I could not justify wearing any of my most beloved shoes. It seemed wrong, like opening your finest bottle of Champagne when you are home alone. As the creator of the Instagram account @thecloglife, I have come to see clogs as not just comfortable and practical but celebratory. Clogs signify a life where one does as one wants and submits to the will of nobody else—corporate uniform and male gaze be damned! Leave it to the other shoes to double as torture devices and go in and out of fashion. Clogs are the heavy hitters of my heart (and feet).
