By Dan Skott


When it comes to caring for either casual or professional clogs Sanita and Dansko is our shoe of choice because of how easy they are to clean. Nubuck and Suede protector should be used on your nubuck or suede footwear prior to you ever put them on. The Nubuck & Suede Protector Spray is a great investment that should be ordered when you order your new clogs. Men have been spraying Scotch Guard on their neckties for years to guard against stains from food and drinks on their ties. Nubuck & Suede Protector Spray acts like Scotch Guard on Sanita and Dansko clogs.

Before wearing oiled leather shoes you should always apply Beeswax Conditioner to them. The Beeswax Conditioner will help weather-proof your clogs and stop damage to your shoes in any type of a wet environments. When liquid is spilled on oiled shoes because of the oil it doesn't stick and can be easily removed with your bare hand or a damp cloth. This is one of the many reasons why Sanita and Dansko Professional Clogs have become labeled as chef and medical clogs.

We have found that preparing your nubuck and suede clogs with the Nubuck and Suede Protector Spray or Beeswax Conditioner to your oiled clogs before the first wearing is well worth the investment over time. Applying the conditioners early on will not only keep your footwear looking newer longer even in adverse weather conditions but will also help caring for your shoes much easier later on.

The box leather shoes are really easy to maintain since they can be cleaned with plain soapy water. It's important to be aware that leather is not to be soaked while cleaning. Just use a damp soapy cloth to clean and then a slightly damp cloth to wipe away the residue and you're finished. Ordinary scuffs can be polished out with shoe polish.

Oiled leather clogs are kept clean by rubbing with your finger across the shoe spreading the oil or using a damp cloth. What we really love about the oiled shoes is there durability. Even scrapes that seem not repairable can almost always be taken out easily yourself in a few minutes. All you need is a shoe brush and some Oiled Leather Restorer or Beeswax Conditioner to protect and make them look as good as new again.

The History Of Clogs

Clogs are a type of footwear. There are four main types of clogs. Clogs can be a type of shoe or sandal made predominantly out of wood. They can be a type of heavy boot or shoe with sides, uppers and typically thick wooden soles, and may have steel toecaps and/or steel reinforcing inserts in the undersides of the soles. A clog can also be a special kind of shoe worn while clog-dancing (clogging). They are similar to tap shoes, but the taps are free to click against each other, therefore producing a different sound than tap shoes. Nowadays, "clogs" also mean comfortable slip-on shoes. They are often made out of leather, but some clogs keep the bottom part out of wood. All-rubber clogs are often worn while gardening, because they can be easily hosed off and allowed to air-dry. Some clogs come with heels, and are usually distinguished from mules by their higher vamp. It is commonly accepted that men and women can wear low-heeled or high-heeled clogs.

Clogs were, and in some regions still are, widely worn by workers as protective clothing in factories, mines and farms.

Clog-Dancing

There is a theory that clogging or clog dancing arose in these industrial textiles mills as a result of the mill workers entertaining themselves by syncopating foot taps with the rhythmic sounds made by the loom shuttles. Clog dancing became a widespread pastime during this period in England. During the nineteenth century, competitions were held and professional clog dancers performed in the music halls.
Clog dancing is a continuing tradition in Wales. The difference between Welsh clogging and other step dance traditions is that the performance will not only include complicated stepping, but also 'tricks'. For example, snuffing out a lit candle with the dancer's feet, toby stepping - similar to Cossack dancing— and high leaps into the air.

Clogs in 1970s fashion

Swedish clogs became popular fashion accessories in the 1970s and 1980s for both sexes. They were usually worn without socks and were considered suitable attire for the avant-garde man.

Platform clogs in 1980s and 1990s fashion

Based on the clog model, platform clogs or sandals, often raised as high as 6 or even 8 inches right through between sole and insole, were another fashion of the 1980s and 90s in many western countries for women. This large mid layer was often made of solid cork, although some were merely of plastic with a cork covering. The sole, more often than not, was made of a light sandy-colored rubber. Some of the platforms of these clogs were encompassed about with a string-laced effect.
 
I found this information on the Wikipedia website @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clogs. Clogs have certainly evolved a whole lot from what they have originally come from.  It goes to shoe that some things still get better and better as time goes on.  Here we are in 2009 and the clogs are still going strong with the professional clogs being one of the most comfortable shoes worn by people that have to be on their feet for long hours daily.
