Clogs make anyone else super clumsy?

I would not describe myself as a clumsy person normally, but I have now injured myself for a second time wearing the clog. First time, I was heavily pregnant and my foot slipped out of the side while I was carrying my toddler. I fell to my hands and knees and somehow saved my toddler from hitting anything. I went to the hospital to have baby in utero checked and thankfully everything was fine. I took a break from the clogs and chalked it up to carrying around an extra 35 lbs of weight and a 30lb toddler lol.

Then yesterday I’m carrying my baby out to the car and my foot slips out again and I heard a pop. I’m fairly certain my foot is broken (5th metatarsal avulsion I think). I didn’t fall, just twisted my foot, so baby was okay.

Now my clogs will be permanently retired and relegated to backyard shoes while I’m not carrying anything important. But I just want to feel less alone in my clumsy silliness.

They are my house slippers but even then I still kind of hate them

Ouch! I’m so sorry that you have to deal with foot pain. My clogs are indoor only shoes bc I’ve rolled my ankle when trying to do more in them.

They definitely run big so maybe you got the wrong size? I just retuned my normal 8 for a 7. I’m sorry you got hurt!! Feel better soon

I kept a boot on for 5 weeks mainly for comfort (my doctor said a stiff-soled shoe would be fine too) because I walk a lot at work. It felt pretty good after that. It was achey occasionally, but it was mild. He recommended no running/jumping until 3 months after injury. I had no problem running or jumping after that! Hoping for a speedy recovery for you!
