That means the X-Wide option will be good for the broadest of feet.

They are on the higher volume option, so felt a little too roomy for Stacey (modeling above) who has medium-low volume feet. But they match the clog aesthetic while being significantly more flexible and dynamic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Twist is available in many different solid colors and can be customized with a matching strap and buckle detail (which is what we did). They also come standard with a little flower decal on the side, which you can request to be left off.  The main thing to know is that these are handmade in the EU, so shipping can be a little longer depending on where you live. AND if you customize them then they are non-returnable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/anyasreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Tomar-Creation-Clogs-Flexibility.jpg\" alt=\"A hand showing a Tomar Creation barefoot clog squished into a tight U shape to show the flexibility of the zero drop sole\" class=\"wp-image-34446\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;width:382px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anyasreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Tomar-Creation-Clogs-Flexibility.jpg 700w, https:\/\/anyasreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Tomar-Creation-Clogs-Flexibility-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/anyasreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Tomar-Creation-Clogs-Flexibility-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sizing &amp; Fit Type:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Runs slightly big\/roomy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plateau shape<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wide straight fit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High volume<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I need some cushion?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the flexible barefoot clogs we shared here have a thin sole. If you want to experience the foot freedom of barefoot clogs with a little more cushion, I recommend exploring some of the insole options below that you can add to any of the clogs I&#8217;ve shared:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4auqlPZ\">Cut to shape<\/a> &#8211; 5mm thick<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/46BUcF0\">Breathable Cushion<\/a> &#8211; 3mm thick<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3SJWOsD\">Flat socks<\/a> &#8211; 5mm thick<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3wkoo8h\">3\/4 Insole Cushion<\/a> &#8211; 3mm thick<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When using insoles like these I recommend going with the largest available size and trimming them to fit your shoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you also want to factor in the space that these insoles take up inside the shoe. If you have high volume feet, you may consider sizing up in your clogs so the insoles fit comfortably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fit hacks for clogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Clogs can sometimes feel floppy because there are no lace adjustments. A good fit is really important to me, so I make use of the following hacks to make my clogs fit perfectly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow noindex\" title=\"Tongue Pads Anya&#039;s Shop\" href=\"https:\/\/anyasreviews.com\/go\/tongue-pads-anyas-shop\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Tongue pad<\/a> &#8211; this sticks inside the top of your shoe to fill in extra space and make them fit more securely<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4ag371d\">Moleskin<\/a> &#8211; This can be used on the heel strap or anywhere there is a bit of extra space or rubbing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any of the insoles linked above can also help if you have low volume feet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A few more options here<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the above barefoot clog options, here are a few more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saguaro.com\/products\/serene-1?ref=Nafs6yLHHkYzpP&amp;variant=46364851503324\">Saguaro Serene<\/a> &#8211; Use code <strong>ANYASREVIEWS<\/strong> for 15% off.
