the shoe that turned standing on your feet all day into a flex
means To clog is to block up a passage so flow slows or stops; as a noun, it's also a thick-soled shoe, often wooden, worn for sturdy, practical footing.
from From Middle English 'clogge,' meaning a lump or block of wood. That literal block of wood split into two lives: one fastened to an animal's leg to hamper its movement (to 'clog' it), giving us the sense of obstruction; the other strapped to a human foot as a wooden-soled shoe. So both meanings trace back to the same humble chunk of timber.
