Not Flats and Not Heels—This In-Between Shoe Trend Is Just Right for Spring 2025
"Perfect" is a pretty hard level to achieve in any category, but if you're searching for a pair of shoes that are comfortable, versatile, and even kind of cute, then allow me to recommend the humble clog.
Originating in 13th century Norway, this simple footwear was worn by fisherman, farmers, and tradespeople of all types. Today, the design is still renown for its comfort and universal appeal, with styles ranging from the most basic to inexplicably avant garde.
Recently model Iris Law was spotted leaving a fitting in Paris wearing a pair of block heel clogs that toe the line between utilitarian and stylish. Styled with a low-rise midi skirt and collared top, and styled with a matching brown leather jacket and bag, the outfit evoked '90s It-girl vibes, while simultaneously feeling fresh for 2025.
Keep scrolling to get a peek at Law's full look, then continue on to shop the wear-everywhere clogs we're ready to step into ASAP. Whether you go for a more traditional workwear style or prefer something with more pizzaz, one thing is for certain: this centuries-old shoe design will never truly go out of style.
