The Best Clogs For Women To Buy For A Touch Of Boho
This wooden shoe is back once again. We blame Chemena Kamali.
Clogs have come and gone over the decades. But for 2025, this wooden shoe feels more exciting than ever.
If you didn't know: boho is back. And it returned with a bang courtesy of Chemena Kamali's first show for Chloé at Paris Fashion Week. After a decade of minimalist strappy sandals and trainers, it was quite the shock to see a front row clad in the same sky-high platform wedge sandals. Then the models appeared wearing a selection of studded clogs with ruffled maxis and minis, knitted shift dresses, vinyl capes and thigh-skimming pelmet skirts (which gives you a sense of just how versatile this shoe can be), and suddenly it all made so much sense.

This much-memed moment spawned fashion's freshest obsession with wooden soles. A few months later, Kamali's clog collection was spanning the internet – from the classic buckled clog, to the platform heel version, slingback styles and an open-toe sandal iteration, too. Sienna Miller was spotted in the chunky six-inch Jeanette, while Daisy Edgar-Jones plumped for her kitten-heeled cousin, the Judith.
Soon after, we were seeing this Seventies-inspired shoe all over the runways, at Ulla Johnson and Etro, but also more surprisingly at Hermès and Miu Miu. The high street has, naturally, gone quite mad for this trend – so thankfully you can pick up a pair of timeless clogs, in chocolate suede, tan leather or even PVC, for as little as £50.
If you're stumped for how to style this wooden shoe outside of Kamali's hypnotic vision, we've created a 'clogs and dresses' style guide here. Or, keep scrolling to see our pick of the 17 best pairs to buy this summer.
We've just spent half this article speaking about Chloé's Jeanette clogs, so we won't bore you with more details. Simply put: they're the most daytime-appropriate of the line-up and, thanks to gold hardware and tan leather, will never date.
Jeffrey Campbell's Cloguette shoe is set on a baroque kitten heel not dissimilar to Chloé Judith style (worn by Daisy Edgar Jones). This one has playful, Y2k appeal – play on this with bootcut denim and a 'going out' top.
Boden does a good pair of clogs every summer without fail. This slip-on mule style has a wooden sole and single laser-cut strap.
From Anthropologies's in-house collection, these studded suede clogs are a crowd pleaser. There's classic tan or a khaki shade to choose from, but we love this saturated indigo hue that's reminiscent of denim.
Ancient Greek Sandals has found a way for you to tick two SS25 trends off at once: clogs and jelly shoes. This sheer amber shade is perfect for boho or beachy looks, but we like how this shoe also comes in all-black for all the goth girls out there (its not summer for everyone).
We couldn’t do a clog round up without including Birkenstock’s Boston clogs: they are, after all, the most searched-for clog out there. Although they were first introduced back in 1977, you’ll probably recognise them as the shoe that’s been all over Instagram since lockdown. So now the only question is: to sock or not to sock?
Known for its contemporary take on traditional cowboy boots, Penelope Chilvers is the brand loved by A-listers including Rihanna, Alexa Chung and even the Princess of Wales. These timeless black clogs have a cool equestrian feel thanks to the horsebit buckle and stud detailing.
Khaite laid-back open-toe clogs are made from a taupe calf hair for added texture. We love the flared heel and square toe.
& Other Stories has married the Mary Jane with a clog and we're surprisingly into it. This oxblood leather shoe is a real conversation starter.
Ergonomic footwear brand Hush Puppies may seem like an unexpected choice for high-fashion looks, but these clog sandals are perfection – just clock the studded suede upper, wooden sole and flared heel.
Paige takes inspiration from the traditional clog with the chunky wooden sole on these Reid sandals. Topped with a leather cross-strap slingback upper, these mega wedges have just gone into the sale.
Arket's simple slip-on clog is a nod to the OG Scholl sandals. We love the oversized gold buckle.
ASOS has a lot of great clogs on site, but the Miles is our favourite. Set on a wooden sole, this closed-toe shoe features a buckled suede upper and gold-tone studs.
Clock the retro tonal suede stripes on Carvela's clogs. They have a fun, Seventies feel with the block heel, platform and square toe.
Alaia’s clogs are a little work of art – the house has worked its signature laser cut-out motif into the leather upper of this design.
The wing charm chain on these Zadig & Voltaire clogs gives them a rock 'n' roll feel. Wear yours with a tank top and denim.
For a subtle nod to the trend, Clarks' Sivanne shoe combine the classic clog with a cross-strap sandal. Set on a wooden platform, they have block-heels and buckle embellishment. Choose from timeless tan, or orange, green and silver.
