CLOG TRENDING

I just want to say that I oppose clogs EXCEPT if you just go old school and even then I would do a version like this boot. Always go classic and you will be on point. Do not, I REPEAT do not go out and buy Chanel clogs because they are CHEESE. I love the sweedish hasbeens @ http://www.swedishhasbeens.com.
Sweedish hasbeens stay true to their original 1970's counterpart. A little about them:
Swedish Hasbeens shoes are handmade and individual. That means that no pair is exactly alike. Our shoes are made in the same hand-manufactured way as in the 70s. They are produced with natural grained leather. The soles are made of wood, which is a hard but fragile material.
The wood - We only use Swedish alder wood and lime-tree that has been harvested and grown according to the regulations of the preservation of the forests.
The leather - We are one of the very few manufacturers that only use chrome free natural grain leather. The leather has been vegetable tanned without chromium and the colors are natural.
The rubber soles - Instead of PVC (plastic) we use rubber, which is a more environmentally friendly alternative. On certain models we have already began to reintroduce natural rubber.
The production – They are hand-made according to old manufacturing processes that are good to people and nature.
The transports – Since we work mainly with local producers and local material the transports can be minimized during the production. When we transport the shoes to other countries we make sure they are transported in as environmentally friendly ways as possible.
