Clogs
are the latest trend to hit the footwear market, which is being widely
adopted by both men and women. Clogs are footwear that don’t have
shoelaces; one can simply slide their feet in it. Wood was used in
earlier times to manufacture clogs, although in recent times, a
multitude of other materials such as leather and plastic are used. But
wooden heeled clogs never particularly went out of fashion; they still
have the same appeal as they had in the past.
Wood is a natural material, so it is environment-friendly, unlike other synthetic materials used to make footwear.
Wooden
heeled clogs come in a variety of shapes and sizes. All of them have
one thing in common; a wooden base. The wood used for making clogs is
generally of high quality, and is coated with waterproofing resins as
unprotected wood is prone to rotting on exposure to moisture.
Out of the many variants of wooden heeled clogs
available in market, the ones with high heels and leather/linen uppers
have the largest impact on the trend of wooden footwear. The combination
of materials used in clogs makes it a worthy investment for women who
love high heels.
A few benefits of using wooden heeled clogs are given below:
1. Helps in spine alignment: Wooden
soles help in retaining body posture and make you stand straight. Wood
also gives support to your lower-back, and helps in spine alignment.
2. Durability:
Wood is a strong material; hence the clogs’ base will be intact even
after long periods of time. This makes clogs the perfect footwear for
daily usage as they won’t break easily.
3. Open backs: Clogs
are unlike regular shoes or sandals; they don’t have any binding laces
or straps built in them. One can easily slide in their feet to wear it.
It also gives a lot of breathing space for your feet as the back portion
of the clogs are open and have no encasement.
4. Wood as insulator: Wood
is a natural thermal insulator, which prevents transfer of heat from
the body to the surroundings. Hence clogs can be effectively used in
summer to keep your feet cool, and in winter to keep your feet warm.
5. Dry feet:
Footwear made of synthetic materials take a lot of time to dry up when
they get wet. But wood used in clogs is waterproof; hence they dry up
faster.
