Today I almost gave up my Crocs Specialists for these.

They're Dansko professional clogs. I really recommend trying these out in store because

1) they come in European sizes

2) because they are apparently hand-made, each one fits differently, even if they are the same style.

Also (as a general rule-of-thumb) you should be able to fit at least one finger in the back of the shoe when it is on. They are meant to be a little loose in the back.

I wear a size 6 1/2-7 (depends on the shoe) and I was told to stick with a 37.

I was also told that even though these clogs are loved by many, it takes awhile to break them in. When I slipped them on they were comfortable, but I could see why...they're heavy and the high point in the shoe should hit in the middle of your arch. I could tell my arches would hurt after awhile of walking/standing but apparently once you get used to them, they are extremely comfortable. It is recommended to bring them, wear them for maybe half of your shift and bring another pair of shoes you normally wear to begin the breaking-in process.

I'll probably purchase these either before I graduate or as a graduation gift lol, because I already bought myself a new stethoscope lol.

Tomorrow is the College of Nursing orientation for the new sophomores. Ohhh they have no idea what they are getting themselves into jk :D
