Crafting The Clogs
About Us
• Clogs were first made in Troentorp just
outside Bastad in the south of Sweden over a
hundred years ago in 1907.
• Troentorp Clogs has always emphasized the
importance of orthopedically correctly
constructed clogs, the base being made of
alderwood, with the right proportions of the
curvature of the clogs’ insteps.
Crafting The Clogs
• Wooden Bottoms
Firstly the logs are sawn up into planks then an
important process starts, the drying of the wood. For
newly sawn wood the drying process can take five
weeks. The moisture content is reduced to around 11%
to ensure stability of shape after machining.
Leather uppers
The leather hides are first inspected before we click out the uppers. Each
model and size has its own die to give the best possible fit for the clogs.
After clicking, the upper are stitched and have straps and buckles
attached.
Lasting
The uppers are soaked before the uppers are stretched onto the last. This
way the clogs get a good shape already during production and not on the
wearer’s foot. You can read more about the lasting in the “wet lasting”
below.
Nailing
The clogs are nailed with real nails rather than staples. This production
stage is the most physically demanding. After the clogs have been nailed,
the surplus leather is cut away. The clogs are then checked before
entering a drying room. Once dry the clogs are put to cool down and then
we remove the lasts.
