Are you one for instant gratification, or do you like to hold out until the right thing comes along? For me, it’s a little of both. With the clog trend that’s been going on, I succumbed a little with my Jessica Simpson clog heels…but man…they are soo high, and over the top. I’d love to wear them more often, but it’s just impossible, they will break my ankle, it’s terrifying to walk on the sidewalk outside my house. If I can’t get into a cab, it’s too much.
That’s why I held out from getting a new pair of clogs, they’re loud, low heels look frumpy, and high heels look scary. But when I saw these Miu Miu clogs at Cris on Polk Street, it was all over. The first day I saw them, I walked away, but something kept saying to get them or I’ll regret it. Oh, that something is Wendy Brandes and Princess Poochie… don’t contemplate getting shoes around them two, they’ll talk you into every time!
So can I walk around in these shoes? I live on a pretty steep hill, and I can attest, yes, these shoes are very stable, the rubber soles are great quality and they don’t sound like a couple of wooden planks like the Dr. Scholl’s shoes do. They’re really comfortable, and with the classic color, I can imagine wearing them with anything.
If you’d like to get a pair of your own, someone is selling the Miu Miu embroidered clogs on eBay in both the high heel and the low heel or you can run a search for Miu Miu clogs. Purchasing off this affiliate link supports The Coveted.

When I get excited about something my ears move backwards (I don’t know why, it’s weird) but they did it when I read the title of this post, I looooove these shoes. I need some Miu Miu in my life.

It’s so strange how clogs come and go, and every time they come back we’re surprised. why not just keep them?
I’m a bad influence… Yeah!
They’re wonderful. I’m so glad you got them.

thanks for encouraging me, i love them!
You really gave Poochie and I a serious fright when we thought you weren’t going to get those!

hahahh, i’m sure!
What a great pair of clogs…velvet, embroidery, and yummy brown leather?! You won’t see many girls toddling around in this pair, that’s for sure. I love this season’s clog trend and have been enjoying my Jeffrey Campbell Charli clogs with big flares from Citizens of Humanity. The great thing about clogs is you just slip them on and go; I like to think of them as the glam girl’s equivalent of a in-between-seasons flip-flop.

oh yes, the jc clogs are great too… i almost got those as well. and you’re absolutely right about the glam girls flip flop because they really are that eaasy
these are so cute! i’m not a clog gal but these made me change my mind.

awesome! but i can see you in a pair of clogs…the right pair.
Very Very cute clogs. I wasn’t sold on them at first but I thought I would give the clogs a try. So while at Wal-Mart this weekend I came across some for a cheap $11. They may not be fancy but they are cute and suprisingly comfortable so far. I’m especially liking the clogs with short skirts or shirts. I’m gonna try them with rolled up jeans soon too.
I can’t wait to see how you wear your clogs!!
.-= Jennifer Thompson´s last blog ..See what had happened was… =-.
ooh $11 what a steal! and rolled up jeans, that’s gotta be good!
I have the same shape and style in a pair of Coach clogs. I’m a huge fan of clogs, I keep saying I’m going to do a post on how I wear them since I own 6 pairs.
.-= DWJ´s last blog ..Wish List | Marc Jacobs Jennifer Bird Cage Shoulder Bag =-.
what SIX pairs! you are the clog queen!
Cute!!
.-= Good girl gone blog´s last blog ..Inside the Armani Press showroom =-.
Love em! (I still love those Jessica Simpson ones, even if you can’t walk in them).
.-= Nickie Frye´s last blog ..vintage Elephant Color Block Tee 80s =-.
i can walk in them, on flat surfaces…but you know that’s not going to happen in SF.
I am shocked that they are comfortable. I was also surprised to read that they’re Miu Miu, they don’t look too stereotypically Miu Miu. But those are both good things; I think they are spectacular! I have been researching clogs and it seems to me that softer heels make for a more comfortable shoe, but these heels look pretty solid. So I applaud you for wearing them up a steep hill! xx
oh yeah, miu miu has done a lot of clogs! but when it comes to hills, going up isn’t hard, it’s going down that’s difficult, you feel like a billy goat!
Are they really that comfortable? I tried on the satin pair (but with stockings on, DOH) and want them but I’m a huge klutz with hard to fit feet and I rarely wear heels about a couple inches. Tell me they’re okay
@chicspace
oh they are! i did walk around quite a bit…albeit not with socks. also, this season’s clogs are a bit higher, so i don’t know if they’ll work on the hills, as i didn’t try it!
Gorgeous shoes. They look like art. I’d be scared to wear them.
.-= MarchMusings´s last blog ..So, you think you can sew? =-.
These are so pretty, and way more unique than all the other clogs out there!
Isn’t Cris on Polk street the best little store? I actually went this weekend. You must have made it in there before me, because there’s no way I could have missed these glorious shoes. =)
.-= Laura´s last blog ..She could be a farmer in those clothes =-.
AHH CLOGS! But these are so pretty!! Congrats on a great find! how much did you get them for?
.-= Lucy´s last blog ..Give Me Liberty Or……….Else =-.
Love these. They remind me of the ’70s.
.-= Abby´s last blog ..Charles Bukowski =-.
Haha you and Wendy aren’t exactly clog twins, but you can certainly be clog sisters!
.-= lisa´s last blog ..La Femme Networking Event =-.
YES!!!! I was just thinking about how they both have Miu Miu clogs with daisies on them now….
.-= Ashe Mischief´s last blog ..eBay Auctioning =-.
i saw these from a distance at the mall in Cali this weekend….i’m not typically a floral person so i didn’t go in. but i AM having trouble finding a clog at a good heel height. platform is okay, but i don’t need to add 8″ to my height! i’m only 5’2″ and i don’t really want to to fall very far if i actually DO fall wearing these things
.-= alexandra keller´s last blog ..Alex Keller and Vintage by Alex Keller Sale! =-.
I can’t jump on the clog band wagon…. they’re just not doing it for me haha. I almost never wear heels so if I do they have to be STELLAR and clogs aren’t cutting it.

Damn you and WendyB with your Miu Miu clog lust creating!! They are gorgeous xx
.-= Make Do Style´s last blog ..Like buses three come along at once… =-.
Aw i saw your tweets about these yesterday. Thank goodness you bought them, they are just perfect! Love the embroidered flowers, they are so much cuter than the plain leather clogs that are everywhere at the mo.

I am trying to not indulge in instant gratification, and hold out for things I really want. It’s been working well. My tastes are more refined, and I find that a lot of my sudden lusts for things fade away after a few days of careful consideration. I do not like clogs, though, and have not had a problem denying myself these.
.-= Sarade´s last blog ..Diamond Moonlight Necklace =-.
What a great find! I actually walked past Miu Miu a few weeks ago in NYC and they had clogs on every mannequin! These reminded me of you for some reason (I think we’ve had funny cat talks before with Crosby): http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/60668

OOOH I’m a size 6 I may have to purchase that eBay pair! Thanks for the heads-up!
Such cute clogs
These are so pretty! Such a great find on ebay…too bad my big feet won’t fit them!
.-= Violet Revolution´s last blog ..Lookbook: Fabulous Jewelry and Accessories Inside Embellish =-.
Those are the nicest clogs I’ve seen so far!
GORGEOUS! I am needing a pair myself, and I’ve been holding out too for the perfect one. Those Miu Mius would fit the bill. I would LOVE to be able to afford the Chanel versions, too!
Oh my, how beautiful! Loving your work
