Make a pair of clogs that look nothing like a craft project and everything like a considered purchase from an independent brand. 

Why You'll Love It

  • Beginner friendly – Pre-cut leather and clear guidance mean no stress, just a satisfying build.
  • Comfort from day one – Ergonomic design and natural materials for all-day wear.
  • The opposite of fast fashion – the best full-grain Italian leather, sustainable solid wood soles, minimal waste, and made to last.
  • Personal style – Customise the colour and fit for a pair that's truly yours.
  • About 3 to 5 hours – Start to finish, in one sitting or spread over a couple of sessions.
  • What you'll need – A hammer, a lighter or matches, and a cutting mat if you're altering the width yourself.

The Result

A durable, polished pair of clogs—and the quiet pride of wearing something you made yourself.

Skill Level

This all in one kit is perfect for craft lovers, sewers and makers as well as craft novices. Everything comes prepped and ready to make and you are fully supported by a step by step video tutorial.

Most makers finish their clogs in 4 hours — one morning or afternoon, start to finish.

The step-by-step guide walks you through every stage in order, clearly, with nothing assumed about prior experience. It is designed for the moment when you start to doubt yourself — the next step is always obvious, the process always satisfying, and the end always closer than it feels.

That moment of doubt, by the way, is completely normal. We have seen it happen in over a thousand workshops. It passes. And what comes after it is the part where you realise: you have actually made a pair of leather clogs.

Sizing Info

More info can be found here about the sizing.

The wooden soles are true to size, so order your usual size.

If you want to, you can measure and check your feet to make sure you are ordering the correct size as we cannot currently offer free returns or exchanges in the event of poor fitting soles.

HEEL HEIGHT

5cm heel with 1.5cm toe rise

LENGTH AND WIDTH OF SOLES
  • 35 - 23.2cm x 8.5cm
  • 36 - 24.1cm x 8.7cm
  • 37 - 24.7cm x 8.8cm
  • 38 - 25.5cm x 8.9cm
  • 39 - 26.1cm x 9cm
  • 40 - 26.7cm x 9.1cm
  • 41 - 27.4cm x 9.2cm
  • 42 - 28cm x 9.4cm
HOW TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT SIZE

Even if you know your shoe size, it is best to check the length of your longest foot against the measurements above. You want your longest toe to fill the length of the clog sole (or be no more than 0.5mm shorter than the length of the clog sole).

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR FOOT LENGTH

This is easier with someone to help you. Stand barefoot on a piece of paper and draw around your feet. Don't sit down as you want all of your weight on your feet. Then measure from the heel to longest toe of both feet - take the longest measurement to check against the above wooden sole lengths.

If you have very wide feet, don't worry if your feet are wider than the width of the wooden soles - the leather toe pieces will give you some leeway and 'contain' your feet.

PRINT OFF THE WOODEN SOLE OUTLINES

You can print off and stand barefoot on the outlines of each sole size to be extra confident you are ordering the correct size.

Sole outlines for each size to be printed on A4 sized paper
