Clog Sandals Are the Surprisingly Versatile Shoe of the Summer

And we found the best ones on the market.

By

A clog sandal might be what’s missing from your footwear rotation. Easy and nonchalant, a wooden-sole shoe nods to the carefree summers of the ’70s and ’90s—and thanks to the ongoing boho revival, the style feels fresh once again.

That said, I’m not talking about your babysitter’s mall-bought flatforms of the ’90s and early aughts. Today’s iterations are chic and sophisticated, featuring polished gold hardware and luxurious leather, suede, or pony hair fabrications. Choose a towering heel that evokes the disco era or a low-heel slip-on that works for a day of sightseeing or exploring.



So, how to style around them? My money is on everything from bloomer shorts to long linen shirtdresses. You can even play up the retro factor and wear them with a cute gingham outfit for weekend brunch. There are few warm-weather looks they wouldn’t add a nonchalant charm to, I promise. Shop the ELLE editor-approved clog sandals to wear all season, below.
