Reddit mentions: The best mules & clogs for women

Okay, so here's the thing: shoe fit is very individual. What works in theory may or may not work for an individual, so you should either go together to get this, or buy from somewhere with a great return policy (Zappos is good, if you've got prime Amazon is pretty nice). I've tried on loads of shoes which would be great for someone, but that someone isn't me.

That said, there are obviously other shoes that might be a good idea to look into. Dansko Olivia, Oksana, and Olena work for a lot of people and are very cute. Most people speak well of Dansko for both comfort and durability. Naot Kirei also works for a lot of different people, and is crazy comfortable. I've had a Naot shoe with that sole and footbed that's lasted me 6 years as my primary shoe, so I'd vouch for its durability. A lot of people also have good luck with Taos and Cobb Hill.

You know best what works for your body in terms of comfort and appearance. If jeans work for you, then pair them with tops that have feminine details- lace, ruching, gathers/ruffles, pleats, and bow tied blouses <3. Also showing a bit of skin doesn't have to be legs or breasts, it can also be a low back or a cut out. Velvet chokers are supercute and will go with almost any outfit.

Simple complimentary makeup is pretty and hair makes a huuuuge difference. Also, since it's summer, get a couple of cute sandals. I recently got these they have alot of support and I love the retro European vibe they possess (hint: they are 1/3 of the price on ebay;).

That's really sweet of you. Don't have any suggestions for slippers or slides but I do recommend Birkenstock for a sandal. Very comfortable and long-lasting, here's a model with a back strap. Good luck!

I have these goofy starry night shoes. Picked them up on sale a few years ago. They're Timberland slip-ons and super comfortable. They match nothing and are clunky and unflattering. They're also durable and waterproof and beautiful and silly and I get lots of compliments on them. I love them.

I do not work in a lab but I love these shoes by Merrell. They are a popular shoe for those who need slip-resistant shoes. They are amazingly comfortable. They are not ugly. They come in lots of different colors if you search around. I hike in them and sometimes cycle in them if I'm just doing a quick ride to the store.

I work in a casual office, and I'm also a full time student at a state school. I normally wear jeans and a t shirt that I can dress up or down depending on my school schedule and clients.
I wear plain, dark wash jeans and plain vnecks or striped shirts. These basics are really easy to throw a colorful cardigan over, or conservative blazer. For me though, I focus a lot on my shoes. I generally wear nice mules, Oxfords, or pointy flats. I feel like it makes me look a lot more put together.

In summer I live in skater style dresses that once again, plain and easily dressed up or down. Like this one from Lulus.

Go to amazon and check out the shoes nurses wear :) I'm wearing a cloud like pair of Croc clogs due to Amazon recommendations, but brands like Clarks, Dansko, Crocs, Sanita etc all make super comfy shoes. Not necessarily the sexiest shoes; but very very comfy...

I'm in Australia BTW - I always read the reviews closely to see which brands fit well, because return shipping is a bitch - $30 minimum :(

I got these in the now discontinued chestnut suede. Without breaking them in I wore them all day, shopping, doing the school run, walking the dog. Gorgeous ! SO comfy - and I have sensitive feet so am very wary of blisters, pinching etc...

6PM often has discount Dansko and Sanita's. You have to keep an eye out for normal colors though.

I personally like Sanita better but follow your heart. Amazon sometimes has them for closer to $75-80. I have these( https://www.amazon.com/Sanita-Womens-Professional-PU-Clog/dp/B01MXJD24B/ref=cts_sh_1_vtp ) and like them.

I live in clogs/mules during the summer, there are some that can be quite frumpy looking, but [some] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B3RLFVG/ref=twister_B01DMZTI8Y) are really cute and the open heel keeps my feet cool even in the Minnesota heat. DSW has a huge selection of clogs and mules as well

My wife and I used these as camp shoes and they were great - super light and comfortable

I think Crocs are great for the garden. That's what they were made for. IMO, that's where they should have stayed.

I don't think they're any great shakes. But then, what your body says trumps even the most professional of opinions.

I always recommend any Crocs fan to try the shoe that they shamelessly ripped off in the first place.

These clogs. I see lots of cool hip brooklyn types wearing them and I think they'd go with my desired aesthetic, but I'm concerned they're not as comfortable as they look.

For context, I walk a lot. Like 4 miles a day just going to-from work. I don't like switching between "commuting" shoes like sneakers into cuter work shoes.

These clogs from Lotta A good friend of mine has them and she loves them (after rubbing the heel with olive oil to tinge the wood a bit differently/make them more water proof. Does anyone else have any experience with these shoes as far as sizing, durability, etc?

I had this exact problem last year when I ended up with a retail job after a long slew of office work. What ended up working for me was this . They're pretty cute, not too much heel, and very very comfortable. Depending on your dress code at work, maybe also look into getting some Croc flats. Crocs came out with a line of "dress" shoes a while back--they wouldn't stand up to close scrutiny, but they're good enough for customers who aren't staring at your feet for prolonged periods of time.

I just snagged these $448 Rachel Comey mules for $47 because of Amazon's bizarre size-variable pricing! I have been lusting over Rachel Comey shoes for awhile now and the deal was too good to pass up. They're as comfortable as I could have ever hoped! I've also stalked a few Joe's Jeans blouses for under $30 that usually go for $150. You can't count on a deal, but it's fun when you can find one.

I wear my fugly black Klogs to work every day. They came with awesome removable insoles, are made of synthetic/man made material (easy to clean), and show no signs of wear despite having been worn almost daily for 5 months (I am not gentle on shoes). My typical outfit is a pair of black dress pants, a blouse or knit shirt with a sweater or some kind of drapey top. I'm kind of in a rut with my work clothes, but it's a comfortable rut so I don't fight it too hard. I don't tend to wear heels or women's dress shoes on a daily basis because I wear a 10-11 wide so it's hard and/or expensive to find nice shoes.

> ariats

I can't seem to find a pair of women's ariats that are slip-resistant steel-toe work boots. Can you recommend a model?

Edit: Just came across these which look like they might work. Thanks for the tip!

Thank you! I didn't even think about why I liked the bare ankles. yes, from Patagonia.

Skip the chintzy, cheap-ass, foam. Light weight, comfort, and easy to clean you want Birki's. They're $80-100 but will last you years. I work 50+ hour weeks and have had mine for 4 years, just replace the insoles as needed. To clean, take out the insoles and wash them.

Buy the Birkenstock Tokyo

Been using these for about 6 months and they are superb. Will easily last 2 years.

Incoming EM intern here. I tried to read up a bunch about this, and I settled on the Birkenstock Professional clogs. They're popular with healthcare personnel in Europe and chefs (who also stand all day) love them. You can remove the inner footbed and wash the outers at up to 160F to disinfect them. No problem using the hospital disinfectant wipes to clean them, and you can even use bleach on them if need be. The footbeds mold to your sole and you can order replacements when the time comes. They're also slip resistant.

birkenstock kitchen clogs. They are non slip and super comfy.

Wear these. This is what we use in kitchens. They are comfy, easy on your feet, enhance your posture and are non-slip.

My dad teaches culinary school and swears by these! I found this sub on accident, but seriously he runs his through the dishwasher to sanitize them. If I had stayed in fine dining I would have my own by now, I hated Shoes for Crews. They're Birkenstocks but since it's this model specifically, I linked them. Good luck with your kitchen career! http://www.amazon.com/Birkenstock-Professional-Profi-Birki-Resistant/dp/B00GAXZQ9Q

There's some heel but it's not too big. I've worn shoes with big heels and I'm already 6'2 so I sympathize with you there.
