In my little wooden shoes

Photo by my mum.
The shoes on the left were mine when I was about 5 and 6. I wore them everywhere with everything. The pair on the right I picked out on my 10th birthday and I was so excited despite the fact I had a cast on my ankle and had to wait a few months to wear them both (it was worth the wait). These to me are just so Danish - the colour, the style, and the fact that they’re made for every sized person to wear (and to wear with every kind of clothing).
I’ve remained a huge clog fan and still have a few different pairs. My current favourite pair come from El Naturalista (you can see my review on Pet the Pretty Things). My mum loved them so much I bought her a pair as well. These are her go to’s for the 8 hours a day she spends on her feet at a winery.
I’m also loving Born’s new more fashionable looking Anita Clog. Born shoes are my go-to shoes (I’ve three pairs of boots, flip flops and dress shoes that are so comfortable and always compliment inducing). And I like these when I want the feel and support of a clog but perhaps just a little more dressed and a little less traditional.
And when the shoe no longer fits, they make great decor. These have been a staple in my mums entrance way for years no matter where she lives or what her entrance looks like. That, too, is Danish.
(The little thing in the back of the right shoes is a mouse door stop I gave her. It’s from Anthropologie)

Despite all the talk about simplicity there are things that I still wish for. Some are simple and useful and some are just pure lust. But lists are good to have and share and you can see my lists at both

Q: Can “green” shoes truly stand up to the test of time and (average) rigors of wear and tear to the degree that “regular” shoes (of comparable price) do? I’m curious to hear of any first-hand experiences concerning this (..not theoretical answers). Thanks!

I think it’s like anything - if it’s made well it’ll last regardless if it’s green or not.
