New to kitchens, I didn't like clogs for aesthetic reasons. Anything else I tried in closed shoes for kitchens didn't appeal to me. I decided to get these clogs. During the first week, my back hurt due to the change in posture. I've gotten used to them now, and after 3 months, I can't part with them. They don't slip at all. They are lightweight and soft. They also have wide soles, so the toes aren't cramped at all. Generally, they pick up a lot of dirt from underneath. They are very easy to wash because they are fully plastic. Overall, the toes don't get any air, so the feet smell a lot.
