For embellishment, select a ribbon for the collar, add studs, add a back strap or choose to have the bases or uppers hand-painted.
With styles for men, women and children, Chameleon Clogs are Swedish clogs with wooden soles, but these are not the wooden soles of yesteryear. They have an orthopedic shape that is healthy for your feet, with arch supports and other features that hold your foot in the proper shape. Women’s clogs come in five styles and three heel styles — low, high and with a polyurethane heel that has a rubber bottom for more support. The popular high heel clog has more of a stylish, feminine flair.
Chameleon Clogs are made from Alder wood, a quick-growing, lightweight, renewable resource similar to bamboo. The wood absorbs moisture for a healthy, dry footbed and makes the clogs light, not heavy and clunky. Clog prices range from $89 to $145, and children’s clogs are $50.
Chameleon Clogs is also the exclusive U.S. distributor for the Brasko line of comfort clogs made in Sweden. The top industry-rated clog, Brasko offers oil and water slip-resistant soles, a memory foam insole, a rubber base and a leather top and is available with a steel toe or with a back strap for insurance requirements.
