Boot/Clog Hybrids

Free People Show off a Dramatic Shoe Design for March 2010

Free People is making some waves with a particular featured shoe designed by Irregular Choice. The Floral Slouch Clog may perhaps be just that, an irregular choice.

The 5-inch clog is covered in floral fabric, buckles and has an open toe. From the moment I saw these babies I was dying to show them off, so whether you love them or hate them they're definitely worth talking about. What's more, the Floral Slouch Clog sells for $265.

The Free People website calls them fabulous; I call them curious.
