Cape Clogs were first made in Smaland, in the southern region of Sweden, over 150 years ago. For six generations, the clog manufacturing process has passed from parent to child, and the best practices have been preserved and refined to make the clogs they offer today. The clogs our predecessors designed provide a unique solution for the lives we lead today. They had to be comfortable for long hours of work, and they needed to be light, supportive, and durable enough to be worn every day and all year. That's why they're still the foundation for the shoes Cape Clogs make today!
