Cute Clogs at PINK
What is a Clog?
A clog is a type of closed-toe shoe with a rigid structure. Unlike sandals, clogs have a covered toe, and typically an open heel or a small heel strap, making them great for transitional weather. Clogs come in a few different styles, including platforms, heels, and fur lined. The trend emphasizes where fashion meets comfort and practicality.
What Types of Clog Shoes Are in Style?
Birkenstock Boston Clogs
Complete your look with a pair of Boston Clogs. Birkenstock’s cushy slip-ons are the perfect shoe for walking and standing all day. The Boston silhouette has been around since the ‘80s and remains everywhere on college campuses. Beyond the classic clog, Boston Shearling Clogs and Boston Chunky Clogs have a platform sole for extra heel height. Wear them as house shoes or comfortable walking shoes.
Croc Clogs
It’s true—your favorite pair of Crocs are clogs! Over the last 20 years, Crocs have evolved from practical boat shoes to fashion-forward footwear. They are a staple for men and women because they are comfortable and great in wet weather. Style your Crocs for a casual day out with crew socks, leggings, or pants. Bonus points if you add Jibbitz to these super durable and water-resistant shoes.
UGG Clogs
While UGG is known for boots, they also offer a variety of modern clogs. Glodenstar Clogs have a heel strap for two options to wear, similar to Crocs. New Heights Clogs have a similar color and texture with a small platform heel for an elevated look. The suede material has a cozy soft look and feel, which pairs well with many types of clothing, from jeans and sweatpants to drapey miniskirts.
How to Style Clogs
For a clean look, choose neutral colors like brown clogs and white denim or an oversized gray suit. Match clogs with a pair of tights for dresses and skirts. The truth is, clogs are practical and comfortable, so wear them however and wherever you want.
How to Clean Clogs
Always brush off dry dirt first with a dry towel or toothbrush. Use a shoe cleaning kit designed for your shoe material for the best results. Gently wipe the exterior in soft, circular motions with the cleaning solution. Take extra care with delicate materials like real leather, sheepskin, and suede.
How to Clean Boston Clogs
Birkenstocks are typically made with textured Nubuck leather or smooth leather. Either way, remove loose dirt with a soft dry brush first. Open the straps and use a damp brush to wash the inside and outside of the strap. Use a solution of leather shampoo and water to lather the footbed with circular motions. To remove the lather, use a wet cloth and be careful not to soak the shoe. Let the sandals dry completely before wearing again.
