Statement-making Footwear for Women

Striking shoes with thick bottoms and clunky heels are fashion staples for women of all ages. Black clogs for women belong to this genre; they embody traditional Swedish craftsmanship and contemporary fashion sensibilities which give them a folksy yet chic appeal.

Why black clogs in specific?

When first crafted in the early 1900’s, clogs acted as work shoes for women and men. Made entirely of wood, the clogs from those times were heavy-duty, utilitarian footwear for both the sexes. As time passed, these shoes traversed countries and continents, undergoing regional modifications.

The most popular kinds were those which had wooden bottoms and leather uppers. For leather, there was cowhide and color options in the leather uppers were limited. Tan and black were common colors then.

While tan leather uppers on the wooden bottom looked well-coordinated and pleasant, black clogs for women and men were more popular.

The striking contrast of the color black against the textured wooded bottoms makes black clogs for women and men a universal favorite.

Some modern clogs have metal stud detailing around the sides. The combination of chunky wooden heels with stud detailing on black leather uppers give these clogs an edgy look.

For those who have a minimalistic sense of style, black clogs for women (without the stud lining) are ideal.

Why clogs (in general) are so popular?

Being one of the most versatile footwear for both women and men, clogs can be worn with any outfit.

For an outing during the day or a soiree at sundown, women are sorted for footwear if they own a pair of clogs.

The wooden heels in Swedish clogs are an iconic feature that not only increases the aesthetic value of these clogs but enhance the comfort for the wearer.

Unlike the conventional pointed heels (stilettos), these clogs are much more comfortable. There are no unpleasant aftereffects of wearing them. Most clogs are anatomically designed so that the wearer can get an optimum level of comfort.

What are the popular styles in clogs for women?

In terms of color, a vast variety of options are available nowadays. Colorful and vibrant clogs adorn the feet of women of all ages. Celebrities are no exception- many leading ladies of Hollywood are spotted in town, wearing the iconic clogs.

Clogs with suede uppers are also very popular. Apart from suede, Nubuck (Leather which has been rubbed to achieve a texture similar to suede) and patent leather are common materials used to craft the uppers of clogs.

Closed front, open back clogs in a slip-on style, sling backs, strappy-buckled clogs are some of the few styles popular among women.

If you do not own a pair yet, then you could start-off by getting a pair of black clogs for women for yourself.
