Product Description (Men's Troentorp Bastad Clogs Van Gogh)
These traditional clogs are handmade in Sweden. An orthopedically constructed foot bed supports even weight distribution with a soft step, helping reduce lower back strain and leg and foot discomfort.
Shaped to exact measurements, the cowhide leather uppers are wet-lasted and use hand-hammered stainless steel nails to attach to the moisture-resistant alder foot bed , which has a raised heel and an anatomically correct scaffoid metatarsal arch and toe well.
With 1" heat-bonded polyurethane sole and non-skid tread.

I love these shoes. They took a month to break in, but now they are the most comfortable shoes I own. When I don't wear them to work, my back and feet hurt. I stand and walk on cement my entire shift.

I bought these shoes for their alder wood base, as I am on my feet for 15 hours a day. Within three months the nails started falling out, then the red "coating" on the leather started shriveling up, and falling off, basically these shoes which are touted as handmade and wonderful are junk!

A couple of the 'nails' that hold down the leather have become loose. I've had these clogs for the past 5 years and this is the first time this has happened. It causes scratches in the leather as well.

I have used another brand of clogs with plastic composition soles that separated (like in half) and couldn't be worn any more or could be repaired. These clogs were used inside the home and should have lasted a long time. I was disappointed that the soled disintegrated and when I called the manufacturer, they would not stand behind their product.I'm very satisfied with my purchase of Bastad Clogs although the size 44 was a little a might too large. They also require a short period to get used to walking in as the Troentorp clog is designed to be comfortable for people who stand for extended periods of time. This is not a squishy, feel good plastic piece of junk, but a quality product based on a proven, classic design that has worked for many years and uses high quality natural products in it's manufacture. I am especially satisfied with the finish and the use of small, chrome nails that are used to bind the leather uppers to the wooden sole (which is then covered with a rubber, non-slip sole instead of the cheap staples used by other clog competitors (that work loose).Pay a little more for this quality product and you'll be happy you did. The Cherry color is not only good looking, but is cool and makes a fashion statement that you care about what you put on your feet.
