Care Instructions
Congrats on your authentic Swedish hand-made clogs!
Cape Clogs are all-natural genuine footwear created using the finest craftsmanship as in the 70s which is kind to people and nature. We use leather sourced from the best tanneries in Italy, and all of our foot beds are hand carved and authentic.
Cape Clogs are constructed of natural materials and are hand made in Sweden so every pair is unique to itself. Cape Clogs’ grain leather will darken over time and may arrive with a variance in color and thickness. Our Alder wood bases vary in color or may have knots which will not affect the shoe’s performance. The color on the painted wooden sole and the rubber sole will fade with use.
CARE INSTRUCTION:
The Natural Grain Leather:
Cape Clogs’ beautiful natural grain leather will soften and stretch with wear. The more the clogs are worn, the better the leather will appear. Olive oil is recommended on untreated natural colored leather and will be more resistant to dirt and water. The leather will stretch if clogs are worn in wet weather.
The Wood:
The Alder wood foot base is a strong and resilient all-natural material from Northern Europe. It can take daily wear and tear. To
maintain its beautiful appearance, Cape Clogs recommends using olive oil to strengthen and protect the foot bed and a delicate
sandpaper to remove scuffs. Over time and with use, the Alder wood may chip. Wood glue can help in the repair of chips.
The Rubber Sole:
Our rubber soles are glued with care to Cape Clogs’ Alder wood soles. The rubber will loosen over time since wood is a natural
material. If it loosens, use glue or obtain a bio-gradable sole at local shoe repair store.
Cape Clogs hopes these helpful points will answer some of those important questions of taking care of your clogs.
