Summer of clogs

For those who love clogs, they are not just about style, but also how comfortable they are. Crafted from wood, most often from the Alderwood, lime or birch, traditional clogs have developed over time from wooden work footwear to fashion-friendly footwear. 

Opinions are very divided when it comes to clogs — although they may evoke images of Swedish or Netherland countryside, the contemporary interpretation of wooden clog sandals is far more fashionable and wearable than their older versions. Different types of leather (metallic, vegan, pull up, vegetable-tanned, suedes, etc), as well as trendy and playful designs, give the contemporary Swedish clogs an overall modern look and distinctive Swedish design touch. More than this, Swedish clog brands tend to follow most of the slow fashion principles; women’s clogs are usually handmade in workshops and family-owned factories, in small quantities, and using all-natural and eco-friendly materials. 

With summer around the corner, it's an appropriate time to start rethinking outfits and matching shoes and sandals for the new season. Why considering the clog sandal as an ideal summer shoe? First of all, the wooden clog sandals are plenty practical. With anatomically constructed footbed that provides good posture of the body and lower back, and natural materials used (usually wood and leather), they are healthy solutions for your feet. These days, we see more vegan-friendly options as well, made in eco-conscious and animal-free materials such as microfiber.

When it comes to style, thanks to their wood sole, eco-friendly clogs attain a casual daytime street style vibe. Whether you choose low bottom classic clogs, platform clogs, clog sandals, mid or high heel clog sandals, they're an ideal daytime choice that you can easily wear to brunch or the office. A simple black or nude mid heel clog sandal styled with a bohemian dress, romantic blouse or a simple pair of jeans and you are ready to go.  Swedish clog sandals are a statement-making shoe with a retro vibe, and a casual-cool way to put a new twist on your everyday outfit. Durable, natural, comfortable, and original, wooden sandals are a must-have shoe in your wardrobe.

In the months to come, expect to see more clog fashion on the streets worldwide. Until then, get inspired by an assortment of classic and cool clog sandals online,  and treat yourself with a pair of unique handmade high heel clog sandals. The summer of clogs is coming!
