I was very excited about the style when it was released, and waited for months to purchase. When I received the shoes, I was concerned about the construction, and was not sure it would hold up. I have many pairs of fortress shoes, they are beautifully made. I was surprised about the quality.

Beautiful shoes that fit TTS. I’m usually an 8.5 and ordered size 39. I ended up returning them because the style just didn’t suit me; the platform in the front of the shoe just didn’t do it for me.

I’ve spent years looking for a stylish, not overly clog-ish, Mary Jane style clog. They’re surprisingly hard to find. I ordered the Willow in black and it’s everything I’ve been searching for — a great platform with beautiful wood bottoms, an adjustable ankle strap that hits in the right place, beautiful smooth leather that looks like it will wear and age well if it’s anything like the other Fortress of Inca shoes I own. The toe box felt a little snug when they were brand new but seems to be easing with wear. Perhaps ordering a size up would have helped with that?

I’ve been looking for the right pair of clogs for years, and I was super excited when these dropped. I especially like the details of this pair. The seams are nice & clean, the wood is polished/finished without being too glossy and the straps are not too thick/chunky looking, just right. The platform on the ball of the foot is a commitment to height of course, but these shoes make me feel like I have style without going too funky in my outfit just going to work in an office. Oh yeah, they’re pretty comfortable, too! I would recommend getting a weather seal spray of some sort after purchase if you get the yellow suede. I barely scuffed the suede on day one and I was nervous to stain/scuff it further.

My new favorite piece. The design and color is so simple yet very elegant. I can dress them up or down , it really makes my outfit stand out more. It also gives a bit of height while remaining comfortable.
