Bryr Clogs have been on my radar ever since I started seeing Andrea wear them. But I'm not really a clog person so I had no real intention of purchasing them. But when I saw these Chloe peep toe clogs for a pretty good price on Poshmark, I thought why not? I think these are the natural leather Chloe clogs in a high heel and in size 37.
First a note on sizing. Since this is my first pair of Bryr clogs (well actually clogs ever), I wasn't sure of my sizing but I'm usually a 7.5 (except I'm an 8 in Everlane since their shoes tend to be narrow). So I thought the 37 in the Bryr clogs would work, but well the size 37 is definitely too big for me. The 37s have a bit of a gap in the back but it's not so big that it would hinder walking around in them. So I would say these run a tad large.

If you don't know about Bryr, you can learn about them here. But basically they're handmade in San Francisco by 5 women, using American leather and European wood bases. I love that they're a woman-led, local, ethical business. Seeing as they are based in San Francisco, I probably should have gone straight to their store to try these on before purchasing to get the sizing right. But oh well.
As for the clogs, they're super lightweight and even though these are the high heel version, are easy to walk in because they are platformed. I also love that they make me couple inches taller. Another plus, the natural leather color helps lengthen my leg and I loved how they look paired with my ES cotton canvas Clyde pants here. Oh and I also love that the bottom sole has a rubber layer to prevent slipping.
The only thing I didn't care for was how the leather wasn't finished on the inside so it's a bit rough on the side that rests on the top of the foot. It's a minor detail and TBH wouldn't dissuade me from keeping them. But since I happened to get the Everlane Day Heel Mule at the same time and the two shoes are quite similar to each other, I'm only going to keep one pair. And since the Bryr clogs are a tad too large, I'm going to keep the Everlane ones (which I'll be doing a review on soon, but FYI I find them super comfortable and easy to walk in).
But if you're a clog person, or want to be a clog person I highly recommend these Bryr clogs. They're well-made clogs and built to last. And if you happen to be a solid size 8 and want a lightly worn pair for a good price, you can find this for sale here.
P.S. Coincidentally, Andrea has posted about her clogs today too. Guess it's a clogs on blogs kind of day! :D
