What is the difference between clogs and sabots?
The difference between clogs and sabots is the specificity of the terms. A clog is any fully enclosed shoe that features a thick, rigid sole, often made of rubber or wood. A sabot is a style of clogs that emerged in France during the 16th century. It typically features a tapered heel and pointed toe that curves upwards. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of clogs.
