I love this wood clog so much that after getting the dark brown, I purchased the tan color. The leather on the tan color was very stiff initially but soften up after applying oil to it. It is a very comfortable clog from the get go. No need to break it in or wear it around the house. I am on my feet all day and was able to wear them 10 hours straight without any discomfort. You can dress them up or down, very versatile. Love them!!! Love them!!!
