Ever since I saw Swedish Hasbeens for the very first time, I have been attracted to heeled clogs and clog-style sandals. This has confused the living hell out of me as there’s literally nothing appealing to me about clogs or clog-style shoes… But there’s something about the sturdy construction and old-fashioned wearability that makes them really appealing. Plus, I’m not sure I’ve seen a more comfortable-looking high heel!
Flogg only recently made an appearance in my life, once I realized that I may never find a pair of affordable Swedish Hasbeens and searched for a different brand of clog sandals. All this did was show me even more shoes that I wanted but couldn’t afford… by Flogg – also Swedish, also awesome.
Instead of weeping about it, which is what my gut told me to do, I decided to make a keen effort to track down Flogg and Swedish Hasbeens on sale and my god… it’s been rewarding.
At 6pm.com, you’ll find a regular inventory of Swedish Hasbeens – everything from sandals to adorable ankle boots, discounted up to 70%. Definitely worth bookmarking.
I originally fell for the black and wood pair above, but since I’ve been exploring, I’ve fallen for a good number of pairs, including these basic black ankle boots that are not really that basic.
I found these beautiful yellow Flogg sandals on MyHabit – Amazon’s flash sale site – for only $15. Originally, each pair was well over $100, so this is an unbelievable steal! The bummer about flash sales is definitely the fact that they end, so get there before __ to grab tons of Floggs for only $15!
6pm has an okay selection of Floggs, but none of them are $15! Once that flash sale is gone (and we all give in and do our crying) that 6pm spot is going to be one of your best bets for finding a good deal on a consistent basis.
The reason I love this style goes beyond comfort, and as I said before, has very little to do with the fact that they are clog-like at all. The magic is that I can see this style of shoe fitting with literally everything I own – skinny jeans, midi skirts, skater dresses, cuffed jeans… Everything!
Plus, clog style sandals add a little retro feel to everything thanks to the simple design that’e been around for decades. The other nice thing about Swedish brands – you can trust the design & construction. They price these shoes due to the quality of materials and assembly. These are going to be in your closet for a decade, and I’m trying to only buy shoes that I’ll be just as excited to wear in 2020 as in 2015.

I bought some flogs on Myhabit after reading the article and unfortunately had to send them back. I got a size 10 - I'm normally a 9.5 - and couldn't even get my foot all the way in them because the straps across the top of the foot were so close to the sole. It's a cool idea though to put flip flop soles inside a clog. But clogs need to be a little roomy for your foot to move around. This pancake foot design seemed insane to me.
