Each pair is handmade at our atelier using surplus natural cowhide leather sourced from the food industry. With a molded cork footbed, suede lining, and rubber sole, they’re built to last—and no two pairs are the same. That’s the point.

How We Make Each One-of-a-Kind Pair
A look inside our workshop

Step 1: Select the Hide
We use 100% surplus cowhide—each with its own markings, textures, and tones. Our team cuts pieces by hand to preserve the beauty of the material.

Step 2: Shape the Upper
The hide is carefully shaped and reinforced with a soft suede lining, then finished with leather trim for structure and durability.

Step 3: Mold the Footbed
We use a cork base that naturally molds to the shape of your foot over time. Comfort that gets better with wear.

Step 4: Assemble the Sole
A durable rubber outsole is added for grip and flexibility—perfect for walking city streets or catching your next flight.

Step 5: Finish by Hand
Edges are hand-smoothed, and each pair is checked for fit and feel before being packed for its journey.

A Timeless Form, Made Modern

The silhouette traces back to 13th- and 14th-century European clogs—originally worn by the working class for function and endurance. We’ve updated that legacy with minimalist lines and thoughtful materials that travel well and wear even better.

Why our Cowhide Clogs stand out:

-Sustainably made using surplus cowhide

-Molded cork bed that conforms to your foot

-Natural rubber sole for traction and longevity

-Soft suede lining and leather trim for comfort and finish

-Handmade in small batches at our atelier

Whether you’re walking city streets, boarding your next flight, or simply standing all day—these are the shoes you’ll want to live in. Quietly bold. Unmistakably Res Ipsa.
