When clogs made their comeback on the fashion scene this season, there was a lot of resistance.   Images of the Dutch wooden clog (also known as Klompen), the rubber garden clog, and the retro 70s clogs with wood platforms were conjured up before we even began to see some of the attractive contemporary styles that were just on the horizon.  While some of the clogs of today have kept with the tradition of  rustic and wooden appeal, many are styled with other trendy features such as leather-covered platforms, cork platforms, slingback straps, buckles, contrast stitching, and laser cutouts on leather.

We’ve noticed that many wooden platform sandals are sometimes being classified as clogs and it seems the definition of clog has been broadened a bit.  So, where do we draw the line between clog and sandal.  Arbitrarily, I guess!   That said, we’ve decided to feature our picks for wooden platform sandals/clogs in a separate, upcoming post and keep this post limited to the classic, contemporary clog.

The contemporary clogs of today are fun, unexpected, classic, and comfortable to wear.  And, with so many shoe designers putting their own spin on the classic clog, they are hard to resist.  Here are our top 10 picks for clogs this season!

As you can see, clogs have come a long way. They are much more polished and put-together for today’s fashion scene. And ‘love em’ or ‘hate em’, they are here to stay through the Fall/Winter season. Clogs are not the only retro 70′s style to come back, platforms made their debut during the 60′s and 70′s and since then they’ve been all the rage in recent years.

The Tweet Platform Sandal by Charles David Shoes is certainly a fun and creative shoe design.   It features contrasting textures in the form of buttery soft leather upper and 1 ½ tweed covered platform.   I would don these shoes with a pair of chocolate colored tights.    The Tweet Platform Sandal also comes in black leather.

Your Summer sandals need not go to the back of your closet.  Try wearing them with opaque or textured tights this Fall.   Bare Necessities has a nice selection of leg coverings, including tights and leggings.   Find Wolford, Spanx, Hue and other top brands.

I love this color combination in the Cuddly Pump by Charles David shoes.   The grey fabric upper and blue patent wrapped heel and toe contrast nicely while the ruffled accent on the vamp adds an element of sophisticated charm.   The grey fabric also has blue contrast stitching which is subtle but just one more element to make this shoe all the more intriguing.

This is just one of the great designs from Charles David Shoes.   The Fall Collection is lovely and I could easily stock my shoe closet with only Charles David Shoes!   Click here to see other great styles by Charles David shoes.

There are so many gorgeous heels and boots coming out every week for Fall, but don’t forget about the casual flats.  There are some lovely styles available right now.  Casual and chic at the same time, these Charles David Souffle Flats are absolutely adorable!

The glossy patent leather upper dresses up these moccasin-style flats while the rubber outsole makes them super comfy!   The dark green color of this flat is perfect for Fall. Wear these fabulous flats with jeans or a casual skirt.   Also available in black or berry patent leather at Endless.
