We have had some cold weeks recently and I have been wearing my clogs regularly. The wood is a good isolator, so I didn't get cold feet. Once you are used to the technique of walking with them, they are very comfortable. My clogs are made of willow, which is stronger than the cheaper poplar wood. They are made by copying the old clogs, which means that every new pair has a better fit. I even had my orthopedic insoles copied into them recently. Worked very well.
Clogs may look out of date, and only interesting for tourists. But I hope you understand that is only part of the whole story.
