The large number of clog designs available in the market
means first time buyers have a hard time choosing which design and which
variant to go for. While all clogs are equally good, they are also different at
the same time. Picking the right clog involves some research and determining
what factors you need to take into consideration before buying one.
There are not a lot of guides on buying the right clogs on
the internet, so we decided to create one for your convenience. The following
steps have to be taken into consideration to get the perfect pair of clogs,
just the way you like it:
Step 1: Choose the
Bottom/Heel Type
The most distinct difference between different types of
clogs is the bottom part or heels. You might want to start by first deciding
which kind of heel you want. Different clog variants have different heels, such
as high heels for heeled clogs, flat bases for women clog sandals,
high-rise but flat based wedges and low heels for clog boots. Once you decide
on the heel styles, 50 percent of your work is already done.
Step 2: Toe and Back
Design Considerations
After you are done with choosing the heel design, the next
step to follow is to look for toe and back designs. They come in many
configurations such as open-toe and closed backs, closed toe and open backs,
open toe and open backs, closed toe and closed backs, and finally, straps or
strapless. Your design should be based on the relevant occasion in which you
plan to wear the clogs. If you want a pair of quick-sliding shoes, the open
backs are the best. If you want clogs with room for feet to breathe, buying an
open toe and open back one will be beneficial and so on.
Step 3: Design of
Fabric and Color
The final step involves choosing the choice of upper
material. Clogs come in many options such as canvas uppers, leather uppers,
synthetic leather uppers, rubber uppers, suede uppers, fabric uppers and velvet
uppers. The choice depends on the usage scenarios and frequency of use. For
example, daily use clogs means suede, synthetic and fabric uppers, whereas
clogs for once in a while use means genuine leather and velvet uppers. After
this, the final choice comes down to picking the color, which can be almost any
color due to the large number of colors clogs are sold in.
