Clogs

Wholesale clogs: shoes Made in Italy which set the trend  

Half way between slippers and wedges, women’s clogs represent a very precise model of shoe which should not be confused with either one of these other types.  Comfortable like the former and sophisticated like the latter, clogs are a must-have for all women who love to feel both beautiful and comfortable. “If you want to be beautiful, you have to suffer a little”: this is very probably true in the case of high heels and pumps, but this saying cannot be applied to clogs, in fact, it will be difficult to part from them!

But how can we distinguish clogs from other types of shoes? Tradition dictates that a clog should have a wooden sole, with a solid and compact heel: the originals are still built in this way, even if today, clogs have an infinite variety of types. No longer only unique sole and heel, but also important platforms and height; no longer only in wood, practical and a little retro, but also now in lighter, more functional, hi-tech materials such as rubber. Be careful, then, not to confuse them with simple slippers or mules: the peculiar feature of the clog lies in its sole raised off the floor. Not such a minor detail, if you think that clogs were originally designed to be worn by farmers.  

Perfect for working in the fields, thanks to their thick sole in wood and leather upper, clogs isolated feet from the ground, protecting them without restricting them in heavy work boots. These days, rather than seeing them in the wheat fields, we see them flit by on the fashion catwalks: a real change of pace for a shoe with such humble origins! This is undoubtedly also because clogs are naturally adaptable to many different variations of style and model. With a high or low heel, with seams showing or hidden beneath a smooth upper, with or without a strap, lined in fur or in leather, and the list could go on and on. Actually, the list continues in our Made in Italy wholesale clogs shoe catalogue, where clogs are a real battlehorse of the world of fashion in all seasons.

In our shop online, we certainly wouldn’t be without the classic  Dutch-inspired clogs, evolution of the famous little shoes in wood with the upturned pointy toe from the land of tulips, with the heel in wood, covering in leather and studs in stitching. The famous Dansko are now an icon of this genre, super easy to match with everything and even easier to wear. With their clean lines, simple shapes and comfort, Dansko clogs are the favourites of girls and women alike with that touch of folk spirit. A little more country style if paired with a skirt, it’s with trousers that women’s clogs really show their true potential as a casual trendy shoe. But be careful: it’s important to show a little bit of ankle if you want to avoid that heavy look!

Those in the North showed us how it was done, but they weren’t the only ones. Clogs are actually an incredibly universal model, typical, for example also in traditional oriental footwear: with a double heel, square base and between-toe band of silk to separate the toes of the seductive Geisha girls. And there is also some oriental influence here: in the squarest forms of some heels and in the elegant floral patterns of certain printed versions, similar in taste and colour to the elegant fabrics of oriental kimonos.

First created as “poor” shoes, clogs have evolved over the course of history to become the shoes of a whole era of cinema divas, and not only that. How can we forget the legendary Marilyn Monroe or the fascinating Jane Russel in sexy and provocative outfits, made even more appealing by the inevitable clogs with a stiletto heel? Omnipresent in the most daring shots of show business stars, clogs are making a comeback today teamed up with a taste of vintage. A little bit chic and a little bit pin-up, clogs with a high heel are ideal with a short polka-dot dress in pastel colours, but they are also a huge hit worn with a one-piece swimming-costume, sunglasses and a large straw hat, the icing on the cake of perfect retro style.  

From the far away lands of Northern Europe, to the sun-soaked lands of the Orient, to the glitter of the U.S. limelight, clogs have seen many changes and for some time now have been back centre stage again, protagonists of a trend which winks at the past (the more glamorous side)  without giving up the progress – manufacturing, raw materials, style – of the present. And if you’re talking about style you have to talk about Italy: our Made in Italy wholesale shoe store actually offers only models from the latest trends, where Italian taste and the quality of the raw materials are the unmistakable signature of a supremacy that’s hard to beat.
