We know we’ve been hinting at it for a while, but clogs are shaping up to be one of the It shoes of the year, and they might just stick around for the next. Although they’ve been known to many as “ugly” shoes, people’s priorities have shifted in the past year, and comfort has outweighed aesthetics in many areas. We’re not sure if it’s just us, but the shoes aren’t looking so bad on the eyes anymore. If anything, they’re looking incredibly cool.
