It seems we can’t escape an “ugly” shoe—first, the PVC sandals and now the chunky clog. Once considered drab and outdated, the rustic style is making a comeback as Gen Z rediscovers boho-chic. My generation’s love for reminiscing about past trends isn’t new—it all started with ’90s minimalism, Y2K grunge, and now we’re somehow back to the 2010s. Fashion is cyclical, so it was only a matter of time before these studded, wooden, leather-bound styles found their way back to center stage. As archival Chloé and vintage Isabel Marant flood my FYP, I’ve taken action to find the chicest, chunkiest, and cloggiest pairs on the market.

While part of me feels these are a warning sign that skinny jeans are just a trend cycle or two away, I’m choosing to ignore and embrace the playful texture, metallic accents, and free-spirited silhouette of this trend instead. I’ve called on every sub-trend in the clog category, from smooth suede slippers (aka the Birkenstock Bostons and the Ugg Elea Slip-Ons) to sleek wooden soles with polished leather uppers (ahem, the Chloé Jeannettes). IMO, these bohemian beauties shine when paired with flowy silhouettes, lace-trim detailing, suede jackets, and denim accents.

Scroll on down to shop the shoe trend I predict will dominate sidewalks this fall, plus some stellar styling inspo from Iris Law, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and more.
