How Black Clogs For Women Became My Staple Footwear During Pregnancy

Even though I had heard a lot about the benefits of owning clogs as a pair of fashion staple in my wardrobe, I was not really a fan until recently.

Being a teenager generally makes you have very vivid yet rigid views about fashion. My mother kept harping about the happiness she achieved in buying clogs every time and it kind of took a toll on my patience.

This is why my first pair of clogs was a forced gift by my mother on my birthday.

A day before I turned 16, she walked into a swanky little store, which featured a special collection of women’s clogs, telling me that she wanted a pair for herself.

She asked the store manager for “a pair of black clogs in her size” (while pointing towards me) and that was my cue to shoot a grudging look at my mom. I kept whining that this wasn’t something I wanted for my birthday while she kept insisting that I would love them anyway.

Here’s a question. When was the time you heard of a sixteen-year-old following their parents’ word? Like a stubborn child I threw them at the back of my footwear drawer, never to be retrieved.

That was 10 years ago.

Times changed, I grew up, got married and was about to start a family when I visited my mom out of the blue to check on her. I also went checked my room, reminiscing over the things I owned when noticed those dreaded wooden clogs lying at the back of my wardrobe.

This time, however, I tried them on like a mature adult, strutting across the room. I suddenly realized that switching from my stilettoes to these clogs gave my legs instant comfort.

I sneaked them out of the room and quietly took them home so that I wouldn’t have to confront my mom about being right this whole time.

Over the last month and during my second trimester these black clogs became my favorite pair and I started recommending them to my friends at yoga class. The instant comfort, proper posture and fact that they went with almost every outfit made them my dearest.

I was so impressed by the make and comfort that these clogs that I ordered a few more pairs for myself to get some well-deserved rest for my feet.

On that note, I'd like to add that going from work to party in black clogs for women is super easy thanks to their versatility and subtle style.
