We get asked all the time about our kilim clogs. They’ve become one of our most recognizable shoes, but they also raise a lot of questions. What do I wear them with? Can I wear them year-round? In the rain? Are they really that comfortable? Consider this your guide. Here are the most common questions we hear — and the best, simplest answers we can give.
What do I wear them with?
Almost anything.
That’s the beauty of kilim clogs. For everyday, wear them with vintage 501s and a white tee, or with relaxed trousers and a crisp overshirt. For something softer, let them ground a cotton maxi or slip dress. For a sharper look, try them under tailored pants and a blazer. They adapt to your style without losing their individuality.
Are they comfortable?
Yes. The cork footbed molds to your foot and the lightweight sole makes them easy to wear all day. They’re shoes designed for moving — through airports, down sidewalks, across cobblestone streets. They’re built for real life, not just the photograph.
Do I wear them with socks?
Up to you. Barefoot in summer for easy slip-on comfort. With ribbed wool socks in fall. With chunky camp socks in winter. Both look good — and both feel good. It’s about season, place, and personal preference.
Can I wear them year-round?
Absolutely. Kilim clogs aren’t tied to a season. They look right with linen in the summer, with denim in the fall, and with layers when the weather gets colder. Our customers wear them everywhere from New York to Aspen, Malibu to Paris. And, you can absolutely wear them in the rain!
Where should I wear them?
Everywhere. They’re shoes made for movement, and they’re as versatile as they are distinctive. Slip them on for brunch in Nolita, wear them on the plane, ferry, train, and taxi (all) on your way to a weekend trip to Nantucket, for a party in LA, or for a walk around downtown Aspen. They’re shoes that carry you into your next adventure.
What makes them different?
Every pair is one-of-a-kind. They’re handmade from vintage kilim rugs, which means they are individually distinctive AND your pair will never look like anyone else’s. The colors, the textures, the patterns — all singular. They’re not mass-produced. They’re shoes with a story, and when you wear them, they become part of yours.
Final Word
Kilim clogs don’t need overthinking. They just need wearing. Whether it’s denim and a tee, a dress that moves in the wind, or tailored trousers that call for something unexpected, they’ll always hold their own.
