Barking Dog Shoes | Stegmann Clogs : From Europe to Your Feet With Love
What I love most about my Stegmann clogs is the metatarsal pad. I’m used to the metatarsal support that my Birkenstocks offer, but this is more noticeable. Because I have hammertoes that result in metatarsal pain, the added support brings relief. For anyone that suffers from metatarsalgia, sesamoiditis or Morton’s neuroma, I’d recommend Stegmann. Other awesome features: wide toe box (accommodating of bunions), deep heel cup (keeps foot settled in shoe, promotes alignment), 1” heel rise with ¾ inch toe platform (gentle slope aids in reducing ankle and back pain). I even think the Stegmann clogs with the cork and latex sole will work for those with hallux rigidus – not overly flexible at the big toe joint.

After having my feet shoved in ski boots for hours on end, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as stepping out of those plastic foot entrapments in the parking lot.

The top of the clog is made from a Tyrolian and Merino wool blend and is paired with an anatomically contoured cork sole for superior arch and metatarsal support. In other words, these clogs are quite possibly the most comfortable things I’ve ever worn.
