We bring you the finest selection of clogs from the Bastad Region, in the province of Skane in Sweden. Made from alder wood, these clogs use revolutionary techniques of orthopedic carving. Bastad is the most comfortable and orthopedics's sound clog yet. Wooden shoes? The human foot is made up of many different bones, muscles and tendons that are under tremendous pressure and stress. This creates fatigue in the lower extremities. To lessen this stress and fatigue, insoles and orthopedics are made of materials that do not compress, twist or lose their integrity. Wood does not compress, twist or lose it's integrity, which is why it supports your feet properly and fatigue is minimal. History - For close to 100 years, the community of Bastad has been known for its hand production of quality wooden clogs. August Johanssen, in 1907, invented a better and more comfortable rendition of the old wooden shoe. His new techniques of orthopedics's carving the alder wood and lasting the leather uppers, revolutionized the clog business. Troentorp, Swedish comfort clogs, wooden clogs, Bastad Clogs - whatever you call them! Just the name conjures up an image of picturesque Sweden.
