Defined by its wooden sole, the clog has humble origins. Dating back to the 13th century, it protected Dutch farmers from heavy equipment, while wooden flip-flops were worn in feudal Japan to keep feet and kimono hems clean. The style resurfaced in the late ’60s and ’70s as a bohemian staple.
Now firmly back in fashion, clogs come in traditional woven leather and suede, as well as modern versions with PVC and crystal details. More supportive than sandals yet just as easy to slip on, they’re a chic summer option. Try a platform style with dresses or skirts, or choose a subtle heel to elevate jeans or shorts—they go with almost anything.
Style icons like Alexa Chung, Zendaya, and Daisy Edgar-Jones have embraced the shoe for its off-duty cool. Whether you’ve always loved them or are just warming up to them now, this spring’s best clogs are sure to win you over. Shop our favorites below.
