text: I ordered these on August 6th and kept watching to see when they would ship.  They were slow to ship but arrived quickly once shipped.  Somehow I had not realized they would be shipped from China.  As with many e-packets from China, they were not at all well packed, just stuffed into a manila envelope.  They are garrish.  This is probably a matter of taste, but I do not like pink linings in orange clogs.<br /><br />They are a fraction of the weight of Birkis and similar garden clogs.  I would not actually call these garden clogs.  They are probably more suitable for stepping in and out of a hot tub or shower.  Normally, I wear a 7.5 American or 38 European.  Sometimes, an 8 fits better if the shoe is intended for walking or sports.  In this case however, the 8 is both long and wide so socks will be needed to have a decent fit . . . which means they are not really that convenient for use when wet.  I will try these in the garden, but I injured my toe so it will be a few days before trying them out.  This said, I cannot imagine that they are either durable or stabilizing.  I love my Birkis for precisely that reason.  They improve my balance and seem to compensate for the unevenness of soggy soil.  Besides, you can wash off the mud.  I do not see this potential in these clogs, but they are very inexpensive and no doubt useful if one wants to leave dirty clogs at the door and switch into cleaner house shoes.  They have no arch support at all and cannot under any circumstances be considered as high quality.  They may however be handy when traveling and wanting something clean to where from the shower to the bedroom.
