As temperatures start to drop, Stegmann wool clogs offer the soft cozy feeling you want for fall with the support your feet need for everyday life. Whether you wear them as your go-to house shoes, keep a pair by the door for errands, or live in them all season, our wool clogs are designed for lasting comfort.

And with a little care, your favorite pair can stay in your rotation for years to come...

Why Wool Clogs Are a Fall Essential

Stegmann has been crafting shoes since 1888. Our iconic wool clogs combine natural materials with thoughtful, foot-friendly design.

Our classic clogs feature wool and cork materials, both renewable materials that are built to last. In fact, many people say they get better over time as the cork gradually molds to your foot for personalized support.

Wool also makes an excellent material for changing seasons. It provides warmth as temperatures cool while remaining breathable, making our clogs an easy choice for everything from mornings at home to busy days on your feet.

Meet Our Most Popular Wool Clogs

There’s a Stegmann clog for just about every kind of foot and comfort preference. These four customer favorites are all available in both men’s and women’s styles.

The Original 108 Wool Clog

The clog that started it all, our Original 108 Wool Clog is our most popular wool clog and a Stegmann icon. It combines a seamless 100% merino wool upper with our signature cork and latex footbed for medium-to-firm support. Arch and metatarsal contours help support your feet throughout the day. If you’re new to Stegmann and looking for the classic experience, start here.

The Eco Wool Clog

Love the Original 108 but want something with a story? The Eco Wool Clog delivers the same signature support with natural, undyed heritage wools sourced from small farms. It’s a cozy fall favorite with an emphasis on natural materials and Stegmann’s longstanding commitment to sustainability.

The Essenz Wool Clog

Think of the Essenz Wool Clog as the minimalist member of the Stegmann clog family. It offers the same support and comfort as the Original 108, but without our signature ribbon trim. The result is a simple, modern wool clog that pairs easily with your fall wardrobe. Ready for a jeans and t-shirt kind of day.

The WoolFlex Wool Clog

Looking for maximum cushioning? The WoolFlex Wool Clog earns our highest comfort rating. Instead of our traditional cork bottom, its polyurethane outsole provides softer support and gentler contours. It’s designed for anyone who prefers a softer feel underfoot and is particularly well suited for sensitive feet.

How to Refresh Your Wool Clogs for Fall

Already own a pair? Before putting your clogs back into heavy rotation, give them a quick fall refresh. Wool naturally attracts lint, pet hair, debris and small pills over time. The good news is that you don’t need an elaborate cleaning routine. A felt care brush can help bring the wool back to life.

Hold the brush firmly and brush the wool in one direction, continuing until debris and pills have been removed. Repeat whenever your clogs need a refresh. It's amazing how effective it is! Watch it work in real time on this video.

For small stains, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild wool detergent if needed. Allow your clogs to air dry naturally, and avoid soaking them or exposing them to dryers or other heat sources. Most importantly, Stegmann wool clogs should never go into the washing machine.

Don’t Forget About the Cork

Taking care of the cork is just as important as caring for the wool. Our Cork Sealer helps protect natural cork and extend the life of your clogs. All Stegmann shoes and clogs come pre-treated with a cork sealer for immediate weather resistance, but we recommend applying it again once or twice a year to maintain and reinforce weather protection.

It's easy to use! Shake the bottle, then use the built-in brush to apply a thin layer directly to the exposed cork. The sealer will initially appear white.
Wipe any excess product from the wool upper with a damp cloth, then let the cork dry for about 20 minutes or until the sealer turns clear. New cork may require two coats for complete coverage.

It’s a simple step that can help keep one of the hardest-working parts of your favorite shoes protected.

Ready for Clog Season?

Whether you’re pulling a longtime favorite out of your closet or shopping for your first pair, fall is the perfect time to rediscover the comfort of Stegmann wool clogs.

From the iconic Original 108 to the softer feel of the WoolFlex, each style brings together cozy wool, supportive construction and the easy slip-on design that has made Stegmann clogs a favorite for generations.

Take care of your clogs, and they’ll take care of your feet through fall and well beyond.
