Oh, man, if only that "Spider" had a bit more heel!

o_O Heels aren't very common on molded-footbed clogs though. The only examples I can think of are slightly-elevated orthopedic work shoes...

Ah -- didn't realise it was one of those with the moulded sole. :P Never mind, then! Those never fit my feet very well. Just find me someone who can clone my old clogs, without cloning all their scratches and scrapes! :D

Ahhh I see! Well, if you're into the style of Spider there - I mean the dyed leather, exposed seams and piecing thing - there's this hippie-ish brand that makes all their stuff like that. It's quite pricey, so I've never worked myself up to buying any even though some of them are really lovely; but if you can bring yourself to it I gather they are comfortable and long-wearing and possibly fair trade ish: El Naturalista.

...Now you point out the moulded footbed? Yeah, I can totally see the resemblance to the Birk at right. *Facepalms*

I am NOT a shoe person, and sometimes it shows! All I really looked at was the colour and the front half. :D (No, no: I am really not a shoe person -- if I can't just go barefoot all the time, I will reluctantly accept sandals. Most closed-toe things I hate, but I tolerate the backless sort in winter.)
