The clog is traditionally defined as a shoe made in part or completely from wood. The clunky, heavy material has been an integral part of the shoe’s very existence, sometimes serving as a protective outer shell of a shoe, as was in the case with many farmer shoes.

The footwear may also have origins in Greek theatre and Roman military gear.
