Quick answer: Clogs and mules should feel snug across the instep, leave a finger's width behind the heel, and let your heel lift slightly as you walk. Your toes should not touch the front.
Instep and heel
The top of the foot holds the shoe. A little heel room is normal in Swedish-style clogs.
Strap or open back
An adjustable strap like on our buckle clog mules adds security for walking.
Break-in
Leather uppers soften in a week or two; wooden soles don't bend, so stride naturally.
