Clog blog

In the restaurant where I work, most of us wear clogs. Slip-resistant, black leather clogs. I wore clogs all through culinary school and at all the restaurants that I've worked in. It was only after tonight, after 9 hours of turning and burning 400-something covers, that I sat down and looked at my aching feet and wondered why the hell we all wear these damn clogs. Granted, not EVERYONE wears clogs. Some wear slip-resistant sneaker-style shoes, but for the most part, everyone I know wears the same, ugly, clunky clogs. They may vary in style. Some prefer to wear the half-clog, while others like myself wear the full-clog. Why? Maybe if I bought the really expensive ones, they'd be more comfortable. I just don't see any way to justify spending $85 for a pair of ugly ass shoes to wear to a job that severely underpays everyone there. Maybe I should just cut out a couple pieces of grease mat and glue them to the bottom of my Vans.
