9 Most Comfortable Clogs For Women (2024)
The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.
Our editors have walked in hundreds of clogs to find the best options for comfort, style, and durability. These are our favorites.
What goes around comes around—even with fashion, and the clogs trend is back! But we see why: Classic wooden clogs are effortless to throw on, durable for long days or hours standing, and have a sleek silhouette that works with almost any outfit.
We’ve found nine brands crafting the best wooden clogs—far more sustainable clogs than Dansko’s one iconic pair. Instead, these are beautifully made, eco-friendly clogs with sustainable wood, responsibly sourced leather & cork, all assembled by hand. They’re worth the investment in more ways than one.
How to break in wooden clogs:
We have found that the best way to break in wooden clogs, or clogs in general, is by wearing them for short periods around the house. Thick socks are helpful for this too, as they can provide cushioning and prevent blisters during the initial break-in period. Another trick: Try applying a small amount of water to the inside of the clogs and wearing them while they are slightly damp to help the wood soften and mold to your feet. When storing your clogs, a shoe horn stretches the materials.
Our Criteria:
Our editors have worn, researched, and scoured thousands of customer reviews to select the best brands for sustainable and comfortable clogs. We regularly update this list with emerging favorites that meet the below criteria.
- SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS | Each of these brands uses sustainable materials like upcycled leather, recycled fabrics, and eco-friendly materials while minimizing waste and excess production in their manufacturing.
- CONSTRUCTION | Many of these clogs are made using artisan craftsmanship and heritage techniques, ensuring they are durable and long-lasting while looking and feeling luxurious.
- ETHICS | Each of these sustainable brands is intentional about sourcing and manufacturing the materials for its shoes, employing cruelty-free practices, and ensuring safe and fair working conditions for its employees.
