If you live in the north, you know how good pair of boots are essential for long winters and snowy and icy weather. No one knows that better than Scandinavian people who perfected traditional work footwear and adapted it into something well known today as a clog boot.
Classic
clogs (a.k.a. different types of shoes made with a wooden base) have been in
production for a long time, but clog boots for women are a relatively new type
of clogs that gained popularity in the flower power era during the 60s and 70s
years of the 20th century. Today, Swedish boots are more than just practical
footwear. With a healthy lifestyle, yoga, minimalism, and even more with the
lockdown / COVID-19 reality and a simple way of living we are all looking for,
easy on and off wooden clog boots became a global trend. Classic clog boots,
heel boots, shearling-lined clog boots, wedge boots, clog boots with laces, and
many more – you name it, and some designer already probably made it.
Treat
For Your Feet
Wooden
clog boots are the meeting point of the traditional Swedish clog craftsmanship
and minimalistic Nordic design. Their distinctive wooden bottoms are made with
breathable and moisture-absorbing types of wood such as Alderwood and lime
wood, famous for their natural antibacterial qualities. Also, their
anatomically shaped footbeds are a practical and healthy solution for the lower
back and overall posture of the body since they soften the impact of walking on
hard surfaces and provide even support across the foot. Swedish clog boots may
not be flashy, but they are natural, original, and versatile to match numerous
winter outfits.
Clog
Boots For Women as a Fashion Statement
Swedish
wooden clog boots are made with different types of high quality and natural
materials. Traditionally used wood, leather, wool, and shearling are combined
with laces, staples, straps, horse beats, buckles, and glitters, to give a
fashionable and distinctive look. If you wonder how to wear your winter clog
boots, there are plenty of options. If you are into a boho look, we recommend
combining classic boot styles like the Chelsea with the black sweater, skirt,
or loose trousers. For a casual-cool look, choose a pair of warm shearling clog
boots and style them with a dress or jeans. On the days you feel particularly
arty, warm wool-lined clog boots with laces plus an oversized sweater will do a
great job.
Unique
Swedish Clog Boots Craftmanship
What
is particularly romantic about the traditional Swedish winter clogs and clog
boots is that they are still handmade in small workshops Working with the wood
is a long process that requires many years of training. The making of Swedish
clog boots starts with sawing logs the planks. Once dried, planks are moved
into a dryer where they stay for several weeks. After that, the wood goes
through different milling operations, and then attaching and polishing the
instep and sides of the soles. Leather uppers and nails are added, and your
clog boots are ready for their first steps.
Swedish
practicality at its best
Taking
care of the wooden clogs and boots is very easy, and there are only a few
simple rules to follow.
Rule
number 1: If the wood becomes dirty, clean it with a damp cloth or soap and
water.
Rule
number 2: If you want to clean up scratches and dents, use fine sandpaper
Rule
number 3: if the wooden bottoms absorb too much water allow them to dry slowly.
Wipe clogs clean and leave them in a dry place at room temperature.
