But you can also be tempted by much more feminine cuts by opting for high-heeled clogs. The little darling of the summer will be the wedge clog seventies style. With visible toes and a split leather or cowhide shoe upper, it will be the key accessory for a boho chic look.

For those who fear having to walk with clogs on their feet, there will even be strappy versions, enough to gain stability without losing a dose of style.
