Clogs is a broad-ranging distinction that originates from footwear with a thick, rigid sole, historically made of wood or wood and leather. Clogs are known for their rigid, foot-encasing shape and were developed as both protective footwear and cultural wear for art forms like dance. Today, the clog has been reinvented with new materials that stretch the definition of the shoe.
There is perhaps no other brand more synonymous with a modern rendition of the clog shoe than Crocs, known for its signature styles and collaborations, like the Crocs Classic Clog Lightning McQueen. The Classic Clog in the Lightning McQueen colorway utilizes the shoe’s signature synthetic and recycled Croslite material as a canvas to create the Lightning McQueen graphics on its perforated silhouette with signature ankle strap. Beyond their graphic adaptability, Crocs’ Classic Clog is known for its slip-on comfort and all-weather appeal.
Many brands have ventured into the clog footwear category, from Birkenstock in the 1960s with their cork footbed and buckled suede or leather upper, to Nike’s ReactX Rejuven8, which features a one-piece, contoured slip-on structure. Because clogs have remained such a staple, evolving over centuries, the top way to wear clogs is to find a version evocative of your style. Create a statement with a bold, graphic rendition, or individualize your look with signature accessories, such as Crocs’ Jibbitz, which are curated like packs of collectible toys.
