Guys in clogs.

[Max52]

l am a big fan of wearing wooden clogs. l have a good friend which is a brillant sculptor/carver, he has done the clogs for me for many years.

l love to wear clogs with a suit.

Does anyone else wear clogs to work or at home?

Wear can l buy clogs on the internet?

lt may be unusual but l like them. They last a long time and are comfortable.

I guess that is one of those personal choice things. My choice is "no way".

[Nathan Flowers]

Are you from the Netherlands (Holland)?

Clogs

I've been asking for a pair for Christmas for two years. I want the open back Swedish version that I can slide into to take the dog out. Mrs. Me has several pair and loves them. I think chefs wear them for comfort at the range.

But probably not with any better clothes out-and-about.

Welcome to the Lounge, MissJoeri.

Uhmmmm, No!

Only if you're a chef!

Clogs- the modern variant, are everyday work shoes for many in Scandinavia.
It's an old tradition, and a piece of work uniform. Hospitals over here are overrun with them, white ones.
I myself don't care for them either.

Brian May is a well known clog wearer... But I don't think he wears his with a suit.

I don't think I'd go for that look myself, but if that is what floats your boat...

Not for Range Wear

You'll get too many stickers in your socks (assuming you wear them) if you wear them on the range. With Suits? Not for me. But some of the people I see wearing shorts, well.....................I guess its a free country!! Why not Gators!!! You could have a great color choice. White would go with about everything!!! I guess a nice suit, nice fedora, and clogs? Everyones attention would be drawn from your hat to your shoes when they heard you walking.

I can't say that it's a style I would choose...there is some evidence that this type of shoe was worn with a suit in the "Golden Era". I have a book of 1930s photographs which shows very poor factory workers wearing wooden shoes. They were that eras version of the steel toe.

Clogs were a working shoe in the North of England too- Yorkshire.
You can get steel cap clogs here in Scandinavia...

Clogs were also a safety item in that they didn't cause sparks or damage. Welders and Foundry workers used them in the early to mid C20th.

There used to be a BBC TV show in the '70s called 'Family at War'- set in WW2 England- they were the Sefton family.
