Wooden-soled clogs are back in fashion. After a brief comeback last year, when Chloé and Miu Miu brought the silhouette back to life, the 1970s-inspired style has cemented itself as one of the key trends for spring 2026, seen on the runways of Bottega Veneta, Simone Rocha, and Zimmermann.

Wooden-soled clogs have humble origins. The history of these shoes dates back to the 13th century, when they served as protection for Dutch farmers from heavy industrial equipment. Wooden flip-flops were also worn in feudal Japan to keep feet and kimono hems free from mud and rain. In the late 1960s and 1970s, these shoes once again became a staple of the bohemian wardrobe.
