People often associate clogs as folkloric footwear, but some types of clogs are considered as fashion wear, such as
Swedish clogs.
You can spot many
celebrities in these comfortable, yet fashionable shoes. From the Olson twins, Anne Hathaway and Miley Cyrus, to Sean P. Diddy Combs. Clogs aren't limited to the boho casual types, nor are they limited to one gender, or age, they are a versatile shoe that can be enjoyed by anyone and everyone. Not to mention the many professionals who work on their feet all day, including chefs, doctors and nurses.

Wooden clogs are a wonderful choice of footwear for both men and women. That's right. Clogs for men aren't that rare and the advantages that they offer make them a suitable pick over other options.
