Last year I had a total knee replacement and suffered a lot of post-op complications such as infection, adhesions and chronic nerve pain from my knee to the tip of my toes. Some days the pain is so bad that I can barely walk. It’s …
Six years ago I had a total right hip replacement. A year and a half ago I had a total left knee replacement. I will need my other hip and knee replaced within the next few years. By the time all of this is done I will have had all four of those major joints replaced. Sad, but true.
One thing that I’ve learned is that I can no longer wear high heels. I now need to wear shoes that are comfortable on my feet, preferably with supportive memory foam insoles and ones that give me good balance.
The past few months I’ve been going out shopping to replace the majority of my footwear. I’m really picky about the shoes that I put onto my feet, so it has been a long process replacing my shoes! I want quality-made shoes, boots and sandals but they need to be affordable. I rarely pay full price for anything. I’m a bargain and frugal shopper!
Last month I struck gold when I went into Gabe’s department store and found a slew of women’s footwear on clearance. When I say clearance, I don’t mean 10 or 15% off. That’s not a big deal to me. They had a large aisle of women’s footwear that was on clearance for 35% to 80% off retail list prices. All were brand names that I was familiar with too.
I purchased a pair of women’s leather sandals with memory foam insoles in black which I desperately needed. I also picked up a pair of women’s black ballerina-style dress shoes and a pair of women’s gray microfiber pull-on boots with a faux-fur lining. The bad thing is that they didn’t have a lot of sizing or quantity in each style left. It took me an hour to just find these 3 pairs of shoes.
So, let’s get down to business. All three pairs still had their original retail price tags on them. If I had purchased them in the regular retail department (brand) store I would of paid a little over $97.00 for all three. However, I purchased them at Gabe’s (similar to a TJMAXX-type of store) and got all three pairs for ONLY $27.00. Yes, that’s right…only $27.00 for all three pairs!!!

You all know that I’m a bargain shopper and like a lot of you…I love finding a great deal. Well, I was on the hunt for some new winter boots and I found not one, not two but three pairs at a price that I …
I’ve been wearing clogs since the age of 12 and I am now 50 years old. If you opened up my closet door you would see at least 30 pairs of different clogs. Some I have owned for 15+ years and others I have picked up more recently. Am I a clog addict? You bet, I am!!!
I first fell in-love with clogs as a pre-teen because they were fashionable and trendy at the time. Over the years, I learned to love them for the comfort that they offer. Before I retired from nursing, clogs are all I would wear at the hospital. After my retirement in the 1990’s, I found that clogs were my preferred type of shoe due to chronic back pain & hip pain. They’re my most-preferred type of shoe to wear.

The reason I am giving you a little bit of history is because I know clogs!!! I mean, I really, really, really know clogs! I have owned tons of different brands, styles, colors, fabrications, sole types, etc. You ladies can have your handbags, but I am keeping my fetish with clogs!
Recently I received my fourth pair of women’s clogs from Superior Clogs. When the box arrived at my home I was like a little girl in a candy store! I couldn’t get my new clogs out of the box and onto my feet fast enough. Oh my gosh, I LOVE my new pair of clogs and trust me, my photographs don’t do them any justice! They’re so much better in-person and on the bottom of your feet!
The Troentorp Raphael Clogs are absolutely PERFECT for those of us who live in our blue jeans, but can be worn with all kinds of other fashions you have in your wardrobe. The uppers are made out of genuine, super-soft suede and I LOVE the deep navy blue color. They’re a “true” navy blue and look RICH…like they should cost you a minimum of $250 a pair.
One of the things I love about the Raphael style is that they’re adjustable. There is a strap with buckle that runs across the top of the vamp that you can adjust the width a little bit to fit the size of your foot. I love this feature because I can adjust them to accommodate my heavier socks in the wintertime or during the summertime when I go barefoot, I can make them a little smaller.
The original sole bottoms are done in your natural color alder wood and are built for comfort. These shoes are made for walking and standing…giving you the ultimate in support and comfort. Under the wooden sole you’ll find a rubberized bottom with plenty of tread to keep you from sliding around on slippery surfaces.
When ordering Troentorp Clogs from Superior Clogs, I do recommend that you stay true-to-size. With that said, if you like wearing chunky socks with your shoes during the colder months, I would size up by a 1/2 size. That’s what I do and I get the perfect fit! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new clogs!
