In the hot summer time, along with elegant sandals and slippers with an open cape, many fashionistas prefer wedge clogs. These shoes visually slim the figure, wear well and give a woman a sense of comfort.
What?
The sole of the clog is a solid piece of wood, although there are also individual models made of rubber. The upper part of such products is connected to the base due to metal rivets. Clog toe is usually open, although there are closed options. The back is surely open.
I must say that these shoes appeared a long time ago. Initially, it was worn by the poor from Greece, then workers from other European countries. The predecessors of modern clogs were French and Dutch wooden closed shoes. You can imagine what it is about if you remember the tale of Cinderella or Snow White. Each pair was hand-crafted by artisans. Since there was no shortage of wooden raw materials at that time, shoes (a prototype of modern clogs) were accessible to everyone. To soften the stiffness, straw was pushed inside the shoe and thick socks were put on.
In the 19th century, clog models became much more feminine, workers went to them to dance. In the 20th century, fashion designers came up with wedge-heeled shoes (heels and a more stable version), and began to make the top of the clogs from soft texture material.
In the 70s begins the real subomania, which was born thanks to hippies. Other wealthy fashionistas had in stock more than a dozen different models. And to this day, these comfortable shoes do not leave fashion catwalks.
Types and Models
A wide range of clogs on the shelves of shoe stores will not disappoint even the most fastidious fashionista. Look beautifully models with an open cape, decorated with straps, locks and bows, giving the female image a special charm. Also, decor made of leather, textile or jeans flowers is also popular, and this detail may not coincide in texture with the material of the top.

Such options are made of rubber, represent a single upper and sole. Some models with a velor or denim upper, many fashionistas wear at home as an alternative to the usual slippers.
Material
