Does the platform make these hard to walk in?

The 4-inch platform is a mid-height block, not a thin heel, so the base is broad and stable. It is still a raised shoe, so expect more weight and less ground feel than a flat mule.

How does the sizing run?

The maker says the mule runs true to size and advises sizing up if you are between sizes. There is no adjustable strap, so the fit depends on picking the right length.

Can I wear these to work?

The leather upper and round toe keep them dressier than rubber clogs, and the maker suggests them for a casual workday. The open back and platform height make them a casual-office shoe rather than a formal one.

How do they compare with classic wooden clogs?

They share the slip-on clog shape but use a leather upper and a platform heel instead of a stiff wooden sole. That gives a softer, dressier look and more height, at the cost of some of the clog's rigid support.
