Clogs stand on their own — separate from evolving shoe trends — as a constantly reliable yet divisive style. The upshot of the 2024 clodhopping renaissance, however, is that there are more clog options (ahem, cloptions) than ever, rendered in materials like rubber, leather, wood, cork, and foam. We left no clog unturned, rounding up kicks from every type of brand, whether it's the durable working Dansko clog, designer styles from the likes of Bottega Veneta and Loewe, or platform clogs from the brand we love to hate: Crocs. Consider this your clog shopping guide — a cataclog, if you will — to every good, rad, and plain ugly style of this eternal footwear.

Calzuro Classic Rubber Work Clogs
Shopping savants have long embraced this low-heel rubber clog, manufactured in Italy for medical professionals — which, owing to their European provenance, are chicer than they need to be. “Nurse for seven years, usually wear Dansko or sneakers,” wrote one reviewer on Amazon. “A lot of the surgeons, techs and other nurses swear by these, so I decided to give them a go. After a month and a half later of wearing them I am so pleased. Plan on ordering another pair to put into rotation.”
