clogs?

[bon jovi]

hello all, this may sound a stupid question but I do not want to spend 100+ dollars to wrong shoes. Ok...School said NO CLOGS, NO SNICKERS... In my country clogs are the ones with open back (something like this

But now I see that this

is considered to be a clog as well. So what should I get? I am little confused...I was going for the second picture (closed at the back-slip on shoe by Dansko). can you please clarify for me. Thanks

The first picture you posted is what all the facilities I've been in consider "clogs" (open in the back,regardless of whether or not it has a strap that goes around the ankle).

The second picture isn't what I would consider a clog nor would the facility I work for that has a no clog/no open toe/no holes in shoe policy. As a matter of fact quite a few nurses on the floors have the shoes in the second picture, I love them myself, but sadly I can't seem to find ones in my size

You should clarify this with your school. I don't think that second pair is a clog, either, but if your school considers it one, then you should really get a list of acceptable shoes from them. Perhaps you can print some out and take it to the department and have someone tell you which ones would be ok.

I agree- you don't want to have to buy another pair. They aren't cheap.

thanks for the reply...no school did not say that second pair as a clog, but on some web sites they are considered as a clogs and on some they are "slip one". Thanks a lot for the input!:wink2:

That is what i thought as well. I think I will go for the something like the ones on the second picture.... thanks a lot!

I have those exact shoes and wore them during my phlebotomy clinicals and will also wear them for nursing clinicals. They were pricey, but my body is worth it!

I absolutely love my Dansko's!! Worth the money spent.
