This is the Born Della T-strap clog in berry patent from Shoeline.com AND here's why I love it:
- Perfect shade of red for end of summer into fall. Deep and intense. Not burgundy as one might think with the name "berry."
- Silver buckle detail is actually functional as you can adjust it to customize fit.
- Nicely cushioned latex foam footbed. Lately this feature has become more and more important to me as my arthritis is causing that dang "ball-of-foot" pain again.
- Room for toes. Those of us with bunions know how important this is.
- Polyurethane outsole is flexible and shock absorbing, although not a true rocker sole like Dansko.
- Moderate arch support.
The only concern I have about this shoe (and many Born styles) is that it only comes in whole sizes. The 10 works fine for me and it's recommended that you order up if you fall between sizes.
Available in berry, black, dark brown patent and a really funky gray plaid suede at Shoeline.com for $91, free shipping. Want to win a pair for yourself and three friends? Take a look at yesterday's post to find out how!

I can hardly see the shoe because I'm staring at your awesome calf muscle. This is a highly inappropriate comment, but your legs are HOTT.

MWAH HAHAHAHA! Kris, I'm flexing my calves--they don't always look like that.

I'm not normally a clog person, but these really are pretty. I love the red patent color.

and that belt is so...paula c. you both dress so cute. simple but very cool.

Janelle, you're right. This is a Paula-inspired outfit. The shirt was $14.99 at TJ Maxx (Limited brand). The skirt is 3 years old from Gap, the belt, which I LOVE, was dirt cheap at Old Navy. But my fave find is the bag by Yak-Pak for $12.99 at TJ Maxx. It's sorta Anthropologie-inspired with funny birds on a wire. Accessories from Francesca's Collections--cheap and cute.

how do these compare with my beloved pg lite clogs?
(just in case you haven't heard, pg is coming out with some new lines this fall - mary janes and two styles of BOOTS.)

Hey Krissy,
I don't think they compare that well. While nice and cushiony, these lack the rocker sole of PG Lite Alegria--which makes them virtually a therapy shoe..and a cute one at that.
