Professional
clogs? When you read that, what immediately comes into
your head? For me, when I first heard that phrase I automatically
thought that they were a line of clogs for clogging competitions in
Holland. There has to be some type of professional clogging league in
Europe, right? I mean, I have no idea how they score it, but IÂ’m sure
they have some type of expensive clogs they buy from suppliers that give
them superior clogging ability, right (I know, I know, IÂ’m saying clogs
a lot)?
Anyway, I completely digress. To my surprise professional clogs
does not have anything to do with dancing, but instead have to do with
the medical field. You see, may they be doctors or nurses, people in the
medical field love wearing professional clogs. Why? Well, not only are
they comfortable for professionals who are on their feet all day, but
they are also breathable while being stain resistant. Most clogs can be
cleaned with either a cloth or a little spot of water. This is
absolutely paramount for a doctor. There is a lot of fluid that a doctor
comes across throughout the day. The last thing you want is to have
your shoes stain a day after buying them.
Looking at the description of professional clogs online, you notice that
the makers do have comfort in mind as much as practability. According
to several websites which sell them, a few of the highlighted features
of the professional clogs includes: absorbent insoles, protective heel
caps, reinforced padded insteps, a roomy toe box for increased comfort, a
stabilizing PVC insert, a shock-absorbing flexible PU sole, and, very
importantly for a doctor, a skid-resistant outsole. Other clogs may
feature additional features and because professional clogs seem to run
around $110-$120 it is a good idea to carefully study them all and take
your investment rather seriously.
Style wise, the clogs come in a variety of practical designs and colors.
For men such styles include both Professional Oil Clogs which come in
red, brown and black and its cousin, the shinier, Professional Cabrio
line which comes in black, red and blue. Women can also pick from the
Carbria and Oil lines but also have the choice of some designer clogs
featuring leopard print designs, snake skin patterns, flower patterns,
zebra stripes and, yes
, even a “brown cow” design. How could you not
pass up the chance to wear a brown cow clog? Sounds like a winner to me.
