Lotta from Sweden Clogs

[JAS1983]

I’m interested in buying a pair of clogs from Lotta from Sweden and wonder if anyone can vouch for / against them? Thanks!

Me! Bought some from a little boutique in Cambridge, many years ago.

SO comfortable and quality is great. I really recommend them.

This is a daft question but do they sound ‘cloggy’ when you walk or are the soles lined ?

The bottoms of the wooden cloggy soles have a grippy rubber layer on both herl and front part which gives an element of shock-absorprion and soundproofing.

I found them so uncomfortable and made me walk funny because there is obviously no give in them. Look on Vinted/ebay first as I’m sure many people don’t get on with them.

They take a little getting used to as there is no ‘give’ in them.
On some of mine, the sticky label on the heel moves around, I took the labels off once, big mistake, it didn’t seem to leave any sticky residue but there was and it nearly ripped a layer of skin off my feet.
Other than that though, they are quite comfortable when you get used to them.

I couldn't get on with them at all, but interestingly have zero problems with Swedish Hasbeens.
There used to be an outlet for Swedish Hasbeens in Gamle Stan and I bought loads of different types when I lived there. They are all still going strong 8 years later. I tried the Lotta brand and they just hurt. But that might just be me!

I can vouch for. I have the higher heeled sandal version.
Find them particularly nice in really hot weather. I d like to get the lower version also.

Thanks everyone - sounds like a love or hate type of sandal! I’ve not heard of Swedish Hasbeens so will look them up also.

I don’t have Lotta but I do have Hasbeens which I love and find very comfortable.

Assuming that you mean Lotta from Stockholm I have a pair of highwoods in nubuck which are really comfortable. A little clompy at first!

Sorry - yes I do mean Lotta from Stockholm! Thanks everyone, think I'll go for it- if I buy them now then perhaps I’ll have a chance to break in before summer hols.

How are they sized? I am a 5.5 UK so should I size up to a size 6? Thanks.

I wear them all the time and always get compliments. I size up (I’m 6.5 and order a 7). I can walk easily in them.

I have Lotta closed traditional clogs and a pair of Hasbeens T bar style I bought in Stockholm, I find the Hasbeens more comfy and better made and find the leather a better quality.

The Lotta Clogs came away at the front and given you kind of 'rock' to walk in them, the sole is stuck with superglue at the front!

Should add I am a size 37.5 and both pairs I got a 38

I love a pair of clogs, just wanted to say you can get varieties that have a flex in the sole - a little rubber panel that means they bend more easily, in case you find them hard to walk in. Moheda do some great ones: https://moheda.co.uk/en/all-products/lady/betty-flex-galet/

I found Lottas and Swedish Hasbeens hard to walk in, but not these babies!

Size up imo.

I’ve had a pair for years and I love them - very comfy. They do sound ‘cloggy’ but I like that about them 😄

These are taking me right back to the 70s!!

Those look great, what's the sizing like?

I found them true to size, also with the open toe there’s a bit more leeway anyway.

I've got a pair of Lotta's, had them nearly 10 years! They make me sound like a pony - clip clop, clip clop!
