For years, men had two options: shapeless old slippers or outdoor shoes kept on for lack of anything better. Men's fur-lined clogs change that. You slip them on in one move, they keep your feet warm and they look like proper shoes. Here's how to pick a pair that's warm, stays put and has some style.
The essentials
- A faux fur lining up to the collar for warmth, and a grooved sole so you can head out without changing shoes.
- An adjustable buckle gives real support, even on broad feet.
- The Bormio fur-lined clog is unisex and goes up to EU 45; beyond that, the unlined Sienna goes up to 47.
- Black, grey, brown: understated colours that work with jeans or joggers.
Why men are switching to fur-lined clogs
It's simple: they're the most practical shoes of the winter. You get home, slip them on without bending down, and you can head back out in them to collect a parcel or walk the dog. The clog shape, closed at the front and open at the heel, is clean and no-nonsense. Nothing like your grandad's slippers: more like a weekend shoe. And because our clogs are unisex, the question "are these for men?" doesn't even come up.
Warmth: what to look for
A fur-lined clog keeps you warm thanks to three things working together:
- The lining: it should cover the whole interior and come up to the collar. That's where cold air gets in when the lining stops too low.
- The sole: thick and grooved, it insulates you from cold tiles and pavements alike.
- The upper: a dense vegan suede that keeps its shape week after week.
The Bormio fur-lined clog ticks all three boxes: faux fur lining up to the collar, a grooved cork-effect sole and an upper in vegan suede, a microfibre with a soft "peach skin" feel and no animal materials. If your feet are often freezing, add thin wool socks: the lining holds in the warmth and the wool keeps it going.
Support: can a clog really hold your foot?
It's the number one worry for men who've never worn them: won't a shoe that's open at the heel slip off? It all comes down to two details.
The adjustable buckle
An adjustable metal buckle across the top of the foot lets you tighten or loosen as you like. On a broad foot or a high instep, you get more room; on a narrower foot, more hold. That's what keeps a clog in place when you're walking at a good pace.
The cushioned footbed
The cushioned footbed follows the arch of your foot, so your foot is supported rather than just sitting flat. The result: you can wear them for hours, whether you're working from home or lounging on a Sunday.
What size should you get?
Bormio comes in EU sizes 35 to 45. To get it right:
- Measure your foot in the evening and check it against the size guide.
- Our styles are true to size: if you're between two sizes, go for the larger one, especially as the lining takes up a little room.
- Are you an EU 46 or 47? The Sienna comfort clog has the same shape and buckle, without the lining, up to size 47.
If the size isn't right, exchanges are free. And for wide feet, the adjustable buckle makes all the difference: find out more in our guide to comfortable shoes for wide feet.
How should men wear fur-lined clogs?
No need to overthink it: fur-lined clogs are made for easy outfits.
- At the weekend: raw denim, a crew-neck jumper and brown or camel clogs. The easiest combination, covered in our article clogs and jeans: how to wear them.
- At home: fleece joggers, a plain sweatshirt and black or grey clogs. Comfortable without looking scruffy.
- With socks: go for plain ribbed socks, either close in tone to your trousers or in a clear contrast (ecru, grey marl).
As for colours, black, grey and brown are the most understated; taupe and camel add a little warmth to a dark outfit.
How do you look after fur-lined clogs?
Vegan suede needs very little care, as long as you get the basics right. After a rainy outing, let the pair air-dry, away from radiators. Once dry, a soft brush lifts the pile again. For a small mark, a slightly damp cloth is enough; don't scrub. And if you wear your clogs every day, leave them to air overnight now and then: the lining stays fresher.
