Clogs for Women: Suede, Shearling, Wooden and Studded Styles

Clogs slip on in a second, keep your feet warm, and look great with socks, which makes them the perfect shoe for fall errands and coffee runs. The trick is picking a pair with a closed toe and a sturdy sole so they look like a real shoe, not a slipper.

 

This season there are two clog moods. Soft suede and shearling clogs are the cozy everyday option, while wooden and studded clogs feel more polished and a little retro.

 

Here are both, so you can pick the one that fits your week.

The brown suede clog with a buckle is the classic. It goes with jeans, cords and even a midi skirt with socks. The cream shearling lined pair and the black shearling one are the warmest, and they make a simple outfit feel cozy.

 

For a softer look, the sand and pale pink suede pairs have a minimal shape with no buckle at all. The chestnut pair with a chunky sole adds height, and the auburn suede pair with a back strap stays on better when you walk a lot.

 

My fitting room test: your heel should sit right on the footbed, not hang off the back. What I would skip: thin soles that you can feel every step through.

Wooden clogs are the dressier side of the trend. The black leather pair on a pale wood heel and the blush pair look clean and modern, while the dark brown and black studded pairs feel more vintage.

 

If you want a bit more height, the tan leather wedge and the espresso suede pair with a buckle are the tallest here. The mustard suede pair with a little heel looks great with cropped jeans, and the black shearling lined wooden pair is the coziest of the group.

 

What I check: a heel that feels stable when you stand still. What I would skip: very high wooden soles that make you clomp on hard floors.

Wear a brown suede clog with thick socks, straight jeans and a chunky cardigan for an easy weekend outfit. For work, try a black wooden clog with tights and a wool skirt.

 

Brush suede clogs with a soft brush every few wears and spray them before the first rain so they stay looking new.
