CUSHIONAIRE Haze Genuine Suede Leather Mens Clogs

What to know about this clog

CUSHIONAIRE builds a cork-style footbed at a lower price than the European makers, with the trade being less consistent sizing across models. Napped leather like this dusts rather than scuffs. A suede brush along the nap restores it; water does not.

The cork footbed is the part doing the work. Firm at first, then moulded to your arch after two or three weeks of regular wear.

The buckle is what makes this workable on a high instep. Anything with a fixed vamp will press across the top of the foot and will not stretch enough to fix it. Treated for outdoor use, which in a leather clog means water resistance rather than waterproofing. Dry it away from heat.

Black is the colour most workplace dress codes specify, and the one that hides toe-box scuffs best. It greys as the finish dries — conditioner brings it back. Most of these are built on EU lasts and converted inconsistently to US sizing. Where you can, work from the EU number.

Condition every six to eight weeks for daily-wear shoes. More often than that and you soften the leather past the point where it holds shape.
