Swedish Clogs in and out of fashion (and then in again)

This is a classic sight on doormats in Sweden. The clog. I remember running around in those floral ones as a little girl. I had white and red ones too. Every family has at least one black pair standing on their doormat. They are ugly but perfect when you're just gonna run over to the neighbor "borrowing milk" or something.

However!

I stumbled across this place, Swedish Hasbeens, where they have some new takes on the whole clog thingy. Well, new for me that is, they've made them since the '70s (the only time clogs actually was fashionable).

They are all ecological and really genuinely made with fine leather and pine tree.

Still, mixed feelings for me because of my association with those ugly clogs I showed in the beginning. But these last ones... I think I could wear them! I miss the sound of walking in clogs.

Old and new clogs or trätofflor/träskor/tollor... we have many words for them!
