I Actually Like This Ugly Shoe Trend, and It Kind of Scares Me

Edward Berthelot

I haven't exactly been thrilled about all of the ugly-cool trends of late. Honestly, I just really love pretty things — ruffles, bows, sparkles. You probably won't see me in chunky dad sneakers or flatform jellies anytime soon. But clogs, on the other hand, are starting to actually appeal to me.

Initially, I dismissed them. Maybe it was the not-so-sexy silhouette or the annoying sounds they make when you walk that turned me off. But somehow, the InStyle team came across nine styles that I have to admit are undeniably worth wearing. Don't take my word for it; see for yourself in the roundup below.
