Hasbeens Try To Make The Transition Into Fall

The Swedish Hasbeens were one of the fondest memories of summer, kind of like that weekend at the beach house. Trendy and yet a clog no less, the biggest names in fashion were snapped wearing these wooden-soled wonders.

With a thick, stable high heel, they were the “Uggs of summer,” for being so super comfortable during a season where our shoes usually pinch, blister, and make our poor feet generally ache.

Now that the colder season has arrived, we can't be showing off our toes anymore, but that doesn't mean that the Hasbeens are content to sit at the back of your closet! Hoping to ease into Fall, they have introduced their knee-high boots made of natural leather. The same thick wooden heel that made them famous is still there (in the “super high” format of 3.5 inches), but the look is generally just a regular clog in boot form.

They would otherwise be a total yawn if not for their fun color selection. There's black and brown for conventional types, but those who want to try something fun can choose mustard, turquoise, black and white stripes, or the very Life Savers candy-esque rainbow stripes.

Not quite sure how well they'll fare in the autumn boot market, which is already saturated with much better looking options. What are your thoughts? Loving the look, or are these hasbeens a neverwas?
