The wooden soles are a standard width with a roughly 5cm heel. You can measure your feet standing on a piece of paper on a flat hard surface. It is easier if you can get someone to help. Draw around your foot. Now measure from your heel to longest toe.

All the leather we use is a by-product of the European food industry and comes from an Italian tannery. The grainy leather is tanned purely with vegetable tannins (the most environmentally sustainable way) in Tuscany, Italy.
We have carefully sourced the very best leathers we can find. Leather is a natural product. Every hide is unique and will have tonal variations, marks or scars which are natural features of the leather.
The wooden soles are sourced from Sweden from sustainably grown lime wood. They are incredibly comfy. They have a heel height of 5cm/1.97"

Hi Caron, I love your clogs - the colours are great! Thanks so much for taking the time to post this fabulous picture and I'm glad you loved the clog kit!
Already seduced by the creation of a bucket bag, I had to test the clogs kit, and I was not disappointed ! I fell in love with the gladiator model in rust color during the presentation of the models. The kit contains ALL the specific equipment for the creation. The video tutorial is very complete and very clear, just follow the steps and everything will be fine. Already very proud to have made them, I wore them and they are very comfortable, the wooden sole is very light.
Your clogs look amazing Roxane! I'm thrilled that you loved making them and that they're really comfortable. Thanks so much for taking the time to write this lovely review! Much appreciated. Esther
There were so many options to choose from when selecting the leather to make the clogs from, it was a difficult decision. I ended up buying a refill kit as well as I couldn’t decide. Absolutely love the colours I’ve gone with, one pair made, it’s an easy process and the end result is fantastic!
Hi Laura,
Thank you so much for this lovely review. I'm really pleased you love your kit!
Esther
Instructions were clear and concise and after wrangling with the placement of the leather I made a perfectly acceptable pair of clog mules.
Hi Debra, thanks so much for taking the time to write this review, I really appreciate it! And I’m glad you enjoyed making your clogs. Esther
The video was super helpful. I modified the toe straps to accommodate a high arch. Love them!
Hi Anne, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts about the clog kit. I’m glad that you were able to modify the straps for your high arch! I wish you many hours of happy wearing!! Esther
