Quick answer: Our clogs do not all size the same way. The Bodega garden clog fits true to size — go up if between sizes — while both synthetic clog styles recommend sizing down for a snug fit, and the suede clogs run US 4 to 10 with an adjustable buckle strap.
Clogs are the easiest shoes to put on and the easiest to order in the wrong size, because an open back changes how fit works: no heel counter holds you in, so the footbed and the width of the entry do all the work. Below is the sizing guidance for each clog we stock, taken from its own product page, plus the actual size menus as they stand today.
Why clog fit is its own thing
In a closed shoe, a slightly generous fit is fixed by the lacing and the heel cup. In an open-back clog there is no second chance: too big and your heel lifts off the footbed with every step, too small and your toes sit against the front wall. That is why our product pages give style-specific guidance instead of one rule — and why the guidance genuinely differs between styles.
True to size: the Bodega garden clog
The Bodega Slip On Garden Clog ($46.99) is the straightforward one: the page says it fits true to size, and that if you are between sizes, selecting the next size up ensures a comfortable interior fit. The current size menu runs 5, 6, 6.5, 7.5, 8, 9, 9.5, 10.5 and 11. It is a natural-rubber, waterproof clog with a back pull tab for easy entry — fit stays consistent because the structured rubber holds its shape.
Size down: both synthetic clog styles
Two of our clogs give the opposite instruction. The Versatile Synthetic Clogs (from $35.72, sizes 4–11) say sizing down is recommended for those who prefer a more fitted feel, and the Lightweight Clogs With Cushioned Footbed (from $36.09, sizes 4–10) put it even more directly: it is recommended to size down for a better fit. Both are featherlight molded styles where a snug fit is what keeps the clog from slapping as you walk.
The adjustable one: suede clogs with a buckle
The Suede Clogs With Cushioned Cork Footbed ($29.99, sizes 4–10) solve fit a different way: a broad instep strap with a metal buckle lets you fine-tune how firmly the clog holds your midfoot. The page describes a contoured cork-latex footbed with a deep heel cup, and says the suede breaks in over time for a glove-like fit — so expect them snug on day one and personal by week three.
A simple at-home fit check
General guidance, not a product-page rule: stand in the clog on a hard floor. Your heel should rest fully on the footbed — not hang off the back edge — and there should be a thumb's width in front of your toes. Then walk: a slight heel lift is normal for open backs, but the clog should come with you rather than staying behind.

Frequently asked questions
Do your clogs run true to size?
It depends on the style, so check the pair you want. The Bodega garden clog is described as true to size, while the Versatile Synthetic Clogs and the Lightweight Clogs both recommend sizing down for a snugger fit.
What if I am between sizes?
For the Bodega garden clog, the product page says to select the next size up for a comfortable interior fit. For the two size-down synthetic styles, being between sizes usually means the lower size is the one to try first.
How should a clog fit at the heel?
Your heel should rest fully on the footbed rather than hanging off the back edge. A little heel lift when walking is normal for open-back clogs; the shoe should still travel with your foot instead of staying behind.
Can I adjust the fit after buying?
On the Suede Clogs, yes - a broad instep strap with a metal buckle adjusts how firmly the clog holds your midfoot, and the suede is described as breaking in toward a glove-like fit. The molded styles are fixed-fit, which is why their pages give sizing advice up front.
What if the size I ordered does not work out?
There is a 30-day return policy: request a return within 30 days of receiving your item, with the pair unworn and unused, tags on, in the original packaging, with proof of purchase. Trying clogs indoors first keeps that option open.
