DescriptionDark leather clog, made to slip over a woman's shoe. The sole is flat, with a single layer of leather to act as a heel. The interior of the clog has a step-like design to accomodate the heel of the dress shoe; it is leather over wood. The vamp has two short tabs which meet at the top of the foot; they are punched for a ribbon tie. The leather is decoratively cut in two semicircles above the tabs. The toe shape is oval. Two rounded extensions of leather rise from the heel area. The sole is straight, without distinction for right or left.
