SWEDISH WINTER AT ITS BEST. GET READY FOR CLOG BOOTS

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.

Taking care of uppers depends on the type of leather your Swedish winter clog boots and clogs are made of. There are many cleaning products on the market, but it would always be best to ask for a piece of advice in your shoe repair shop.
