If
you have lived in the 70s, you would have probably heard or known about wooden clogs. Those chunky shoes with their heavy wooden soles and
sturdy upper material made a clunking sound whenever the wearer walked
on cobbled streets.
The
wooden clogs have now staged a graceful comeback, thanks to their
sudden appearance on fashion parades of elite brands like Chanel and
Louis Vuitton. The clogs have since become a fashion accessory and are a
rage today among fashionable women. These wooden clogs for women look extremely appealing to every type of dress.
Wooden
Swedish clogs were made partly or completely out of wood in the past.
They were crafted by hand by dexterous clog makers. Wood became the
the primary choice for the manufacture of clogs since it is durable doesn't
hold moisture and insulates the feet from the ground.
Nowadays,
Swedish wooden clogs are made by machines, but there are some places in the Netherlands and the EU where these clogs are still made by hand.
The mechanized process of making clogs has erased the personality and
distinct features that are imbued in the handcrafted clogs.
The Swedish wooden clogs for the women of today have appealed to customers because of their overall design. They can be easily slipped onto the feet, thanks to their open back. This has benefited travelers the most since they often have to remove their shoes at security checkpoints at airports. Thus they have become a popular
travel footwear.
Besides,
clogs are weather-friendly and can be worn throughout the year. Clogs
have fought their way up the echelons of ‘comfortable footwear’ and are
now neck-to-neck with other fashionable shoes because of their improved
and cushioned innersoles.
Clogs
are now available in a variety of heel heights and some come with heel straps too. Wooden clogs with leather uppers are most popular since they are classy and come in both professional (black and brown) and casual
(red, pink, green, yellow, blue) colors. But, clogs with rubber uppers have attracted health professionals like nurses and doctors as they are easy to wear and can even be sterilized. Persons working in operation rooms who need to stand upright for hours at a stretch experience leg and back pain.
Clogs
have rescued them from such distress and provide good support, thus reducing the chances of plantar fasciitis. The middle-heel and lower-heel clogs are ideal for such medical personnel as they withstand the pressure of the lower back. Clogs have a wide toe box which allows us to wiggle our toes freely while wearing them. This reduces the chance of toe constrictions and keeps the feet safe from bunions and hammertoes.
