Stegmann Wool Clogs

About the Company

Founded in 1888 by Karl Stegmann in Kelmunz, Bavaria, the Stegmann company was established with a commitment to making felt shoes wearable and comfortable. Right from the start, Stegmann employed natural raw materials, such as wool, leather, felt and cork, in its construction. The result was a shoe that truly defined ecological comfort for the feet, with a marked focus on keeping the feet in healthy shape.

The Perfect Year-Round Shoe

You can’t wear flip flops during the winter and you wouldn’t dream of wearing boots during summer’s blistering heat. The Stegmann company’s unique clogs, though, stand out for their year-round versatility. Though one wouldn’t normally plan to slip a pair of wool clogs on during the summer, the truth is that the material provides more than just cushiony warmth when the weather cools down.

Wool felt has natural thermal regulating properties, which are responsible for keeping the feet cool during the summer. In the winter, they help keep your feet toasty! It’s no wonder the company relies solely on 100 percent natural, pure wool.

Special Features

As with any shoe designed with comfort in mind, you may expect a few specific qualities to take precedence. While Stegmann wool clogs are not recognized as the most stylish, high-fashion shoes in the world, they do offer the kind of everyday support not commonly found in other shoes. In fact, this is accomplished with impressively minimal construction. While modern techniques are employed in designing the shoes, the old-world craftsmanship and Stegmann’s original commitment to quality remain.

These clogs are noteworthy for a number of reasons:

• The sole is long-lasting and, with proper care, should remain in good condition for five to ten years.
• The clog of the basic Stegmann clog is pressure-cooked to produce one single piece, which makes it seamless.
• The anatomically correct contoured cork latex insole molds to the foot and provides support for the foot’s natural arch.
• The Microtech sole absorbs shock, providing a greater degree of comfort.

Styles

Stegmann clogs are made with either Woolflex or Woolfelt. The Woolfelt is the clog in its original form – in essence, the show that Karl Stegmann imagined his company would design forever. The Woolflex introduces flexibility, bi-density, shock absorption, slip resistance and a polyurethane sole.

Stegmann Wool Clogs Styles

Whether you wear it as a slipper or a shoe, you’ll find plenty of use for your wool clogs. These shoes may even surprise those who wouldn’t normally consider the clog as their shoe of choice. Available for men and women, they’re sold in a variety of styles.

People seeking new clogs to add to their wardrobe will find a smart selection in the Stegmann lineup, including the following:

• Available in a variety of colors, including navy, black, grey, midnight blue, moss and stone, the Woolfelt clog for men is made with completely natural wool and contains no synthetics. The sturdy cork soles are clearly evident to the naked eye, but wearing these comfortable shoes really drives the point home! They’re great to wear around the house and for running errands.

• If you’re a more active individual, you may prefer the Woolflex clog for its slip-resistant and extremely flexible outsole. Perfect for wearing while strolling around a lake or walking the dog around the block, these shoes feature extra-thick soles.

Special Editions

If you love getting into the holiday spirit, you’ll find the vibrant selection of women’s themed clogs to be especially appealing. The colorful Holly Braid style is available in green, red and black, and features a joyous holly trim along the border.
