Essential Features for Long-Term Comfort in Clogs
When selecting clogs for long-term wear, several key features contribute to overall support and comfort. Dr. Cunha emphasizes the importance of the following attributes:
Platform Soles and Chunky Heels: Are They a Good Choice?
Platform soles and chunky heels can be suitable in certain situations, but they may not always provide the best support for extended wear. Dr. Cunha notes, “Platform soles and chunky heels can offer style and some level of comfort, but for long-term wear and activities that involve standing or walking for extended periods, they may not be the best choice.”
Dr. Cunha advises using platform soles and chunky heels for shorter periods or for activities where maximum stability is not a primary concern.

Similar to clogs, mules also require specific features to ensure long-term comfort and support. Dr. Cunha recommends the following considerations when choosing mules:

The decision to wear socks with clogs or mules depends on personal preference.

Choose socks that are comfortable and breathable to enhance overall foot comfort.
Recommended Clogs and Mules
When it comes to specific recommendations, Dr. Cunha highly recommends the Dansko Professional Clog. “The Dansko Professional Clog is known for its exceptional comfort and support,” he says. This clog has been awarded the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance for its high-quality design and benefits.
