Have any wooden clog-related questions? We Answer!

Our past blogs and articles on wooden clog boots and other clogs, their history and their effects on the fashion industry were a big hit with our readers. We got many mails asking us about fashion advice, our desired choice of clogs and many more. So, we have decided to answer you some of the most common questions that we have received!



  1. Should I buy genuine leather clogs or synthetic leather ones?

    Well, that depends on your preferences. Genuine leather ones are a tad more expensive, aren’t waterproof right out of the box (you will have to treat them regularly with waterproof coatings) and look more polished than synthetic leather. However, it takes a very keen eye to differentiate genuine from synthetic unless the material is felt with hand, and there’s virtually no difference in the general appearance, so you can go for the synthetic one if their lower price attracts you.

  2. Open toe wooden clog boots or closed toe?

    Open toe clog boots are a great way to show off your new nail paint or your latest pedicure, and are good for almost all occasions, especially in areas where weather is hot and humid. Closed toe clog boots, on the other hand, are more suitable to be worn in-line with a summer dress or with skinny jeans, and are most suitable for use in cold and dry areas. However, the choice is ultimately down to the person wearing the clogs, for wooden shoes are generally multi-weather.

  3. I’ve seen people wear clogs with socks or stockings, and some with bare feet. Which one should I go for?

    This is purely a personal choice. All wooden clogs generally use treated wood, ensuring that direct foot contact is as safe as it gets. If you live in a sunny area, avoid the socks unless needed. If you live in a cold area, socks will be the better choice.

  4. What should I wear for work? Wooden clog boots, heels or sandals?

    Most ladies wear clog heels or clog sandals to work, for they are universally accepted in most offices. However, we’d recommend you check in with your office dress code before taking our word for it.
