Clog Sandals, Comfort For Every Occasion

Sandals are basically any type of shoe that doesn’t cover the entire foot. Usually they have straps of some sort holding the foot to the sole, sometimes there is more substance to the top and sometimes there is barely enough of a strap to keep the shoe on. Clogs can be considered to fall into the category of sandals because they do not cover the back of the foot, although they usually do cover the entire front.

The original clog sandals have been worn in Europe for many centuries. Most people associate clogs with Holland, as this is traditionally where the wooden shoe comes from. The most traditional clog was often made entirely out of wood, but now more commonly only the sole is wooden with a leather upper covering the top front and sides of the foot, but leaving the heel exposed.

Clog sandals worn today are also often made with a wooden sole. These are considered by many to be healthy for the feet, but because they are less comfortable than shoes made of softer materials many clogs these days have a rubber sole and are more flexible and cushioned.

One of the favorite features of clog sandals is the ease with which they can be put on and taken off. Because the back of the shoe is completely open, you simply slide your foot in and you are ready to go. Clogs are also recognizable by the sort of rounded toe that is usually slightly raised at the tip.

The definition of clog sandals has broadened greatly in recent years. From wooden shoes to wooden soled shoes to almost any shoes with no back right on down to the very soft rubber variety that most everyone seems to have a pair of these days.

Because clog sandals are so comfortable and easy to put on and off, but also easy to keep on the feet, they are a favorite style for many people. Also, since there are so many different styles of clogs, you can find a pair to wear while working in your garden and a pair to wear for a nice night out on the town and a pair for everything in between.

The rubber type of clogs that typically are all made of one material and usually, though not always, come in a single color and often have a strap that can go behind the heel or be placed out of the way over the foot are typically worn as a summer sandal. They are very casual and comfortable and work well as slippers at home, gardening shoes as well as casual footwear for wearing around the town.
