Next Best Is Better: High Heeled Clogs

Love them or hate them, clogs are back for fall 2010. These thick-soled clompers have gotten a major makeover, though, with many designers adding high, thin heels, studding, and other details. Inspired by these super pricey Michael Kors Claudia Clogs ($250, #1 in picture), we rounded up a couple cheaper alternatives - after all, why spend your monthly grocery budget on a pair of shoes that may not be "in" next year?

1 - Michael Kors Claudia Clogs - $250

2 - Banana Republic Ginara Sling-Back Clogs - $120, in 2 colors

3 - Xhilaration Thaddea Peep-Toe Clogs - $19.99, in 2 colors
