Sure clogs are comfortable...if a bit ugly...and used widely in kitchens and hospitals. I do love clogs for their comfort but as a professional who travels a lot I love clogs for a few other reasons.
1 -Clogs can be taken off and put back on very easily in airport security lines.
2 - Clogs are high enough that all my pants made for wearing with high heels easily clear the ground. Critical if I'm not going to pack extra clothing.
3 - While clogs are not the most attractive shoe in the world, leather ones are nicer than tennis shoes but comfortable enough to wear for a walk if I need a little exercise/stretch while traveling.
And while I still don't wear clogs to business meetings or conferences I like that they can do double duty as walking shoes with the height to accommodate long jeans. My tried and true for traveling.
I too am a big fan of clogs. Unfortunately, I do wear the closed heel kind to business meetings because my small wide foot (European 35/US 5 or 5.5 normally wide or EE) makes it hard to find anything else. I would *love* to find stylish shoes in my size, though. I need to check out some Munroe's, but they never quite have my size in stock.

Hi Lisa -
You have probably tried but Zappos - at least a first glance - seems to have a lot of dress shoes in smaller sizes. They offer free (almost always overnight) shipping and free returns so... it is no risk to order and return.

I have not tried Zappos before, but I now have the site book marked and have sent the hubby a link to a pair of boots I want! Thanks!
