Contemporary Clogs: Our Top 10 Picks
When clogs made their comeback on the fashion scene this season, there was a lot of resistance. Images of the Dutch wooden clog (also known as Klompen), the rubber garden clog, and the retro 70s clogs with wood platforms were conjured up before we even began to see some of the attractive contemporary styles that were just on the horizon. While some of the clogs of today have kept with the tradition of rustic and wooden appeal, many are styled with other trendy features such as leather-covered platforms, cork platforms, slingback straps, buckles, contrast stitching, and laser cutouts on leather.
We’ve noticed that many wooden platform sandals are sometimes being classified as clogs and it seems the definition of clog has been broadened a bit. So, where do we draw the line between clog and sandal. Arbitrarily, I guess! That said, we’ve decided to feature our picks for wooden platform sandals/clogs in a separate, upcoming post and keep this post limited to the classic, contemporary clog.
The contemporary clogs of today are fun, unexpected, classic, and comfortable to wear. And, with so many shoe designers putting their own spin on the classic clog, they are hard to resist. Here are our top 10 picks for clogs this season!
Charles David Women’s Ramble Clog
daniblack – Swiss (Espresso Waxy Calf) – Footwear
Diane Von Furstenberg Ode Clog
KORS Michael Kors Claudia Clog
As you can see, clogs have come a long way. They are much more polished and put-together for today’s fashion scene. And ‘love em’ or ‘hate em’, they are here to stay through the Fall/Winter season. Clogs are not the only retro 70′s style to come back, platforms made their debut during the 60′s and 70′s and since then they’ve been all the rage in recent years.
Steven by Steve Madden Shoes: Sexy Camel Suede Pumps
These lovely suede Mary-Jane style pumps by Steve Madden Shoes get updated with the latest trends for Fall. Metal studs and double-buckle hardware fastens a wide shiny snakeskin-embossed leather strap around the instep. This texture extends down the wrapped 4-inch heel and contrasts beautifully with the rich suede leather upper.
The Steven by Steve Madden Fantacy Suede Pump is available directly from Steve Madden Shoes in several colors but I think this camel suede is just perfect for the Fall Season. These pumps will definitely add sex appeal to your fall wardrobe. Wear them with a skirt, pants, or your favorite jeans. Also available in blue, wine, or black suede.
Steven by Steve Madden Shoes: Sexy Suede Ankle Booties
Is it an ankle bootie or a pump? Either way, this is a sexy shoe! I love the ruched grey suede and the decorative zippers are on trend for the Fall season on this shoe from the chic and sophisticated Steven line by Steve Madden shoes.
Wear the Steven by Steve Madden Bevan Open Toe Ankle Booties with all your casual favorites, including jeans, skirts, and dresses. They are available directly from the Steve Madden website in suede (black, grey, or purple) smooth (black or pewter) leather.

Steve Madden Shoes: Marlene Slingback Pump
These striking blue slingbacks by Steve Madden shoes will definitely stand out with any outfit. Upon first glance, you may think the shiny upper on these shoes is patent leather but they are made of glazed leather. More commonly used to make handbags and wallets, glazed leather is soft and has a shiny fabric-like texture but it retains the durable quality that leather is known for. I really do love glazed leather and hope to see more shoes made with it!
The Marlene Slingback also comes in black or magenta glazed leather, but I prefer this shade of blue because it will go with so many things. Order the Marlene Slingback Pump from SteveMadden.com.
