If you were born back in the
70’s, you are likely to remember clog shoes and how popular they were back
then. For the ones who do not know, clogs are available for both men and women
and they have a signature of their own so far as the design is concerned.
They can be slipped on and off
very easily because they have an open back. Clogs which were conventionally
shaped had wooden soles and their top portions were made of leather. The clogs
which are available these days have undergone a sea change in terms of the
design, materials used and the comfort quotient which has increased by leaps
and bounds.
Let us first talk about clogs for
women.
Clogs are preferred more by women
than by men for the simple reason that women really adore the notion that they
can slip the shoes on and off their feet anytime they feel like. Women who wear
sandals are especially fond of clogs as it provides them the comfort which no
sandal can provide and keeps their feet covered as well. The best part about clogs is that they can be worn in any season,
with or without socks.
There are a wide variety of clogs available for women today including canvas, leather, suede and garden clogs. The type of clogs which you will purchase will entirely depend on a woman’s taste and the purpose for which she wants to use her pair of clogs. For instance, garden clogs as the very name suggests, is used for gardening because it is very easy to clean the filth out of them.
Clogs for Men
Contrary to popular notion, clogs
are available for men as well. Traditionally women have been the major buyers
of clogs and it was thus not really considered by men. Of late, however, men have started buying clogs as
much as women.
There are certain differences in
the clogs for men. For instance, these clogs are usually black or brown in
color and made using the best quality leather. The heels are also not as chunky
as the women’s clogs.
Clogs are also preferred by the
medical professionals as it protects their feet and provides all day long
comfort. Thus, clogs nowadays are
preferred by one and all and their popularity is only on the rise.
