Rubberised footwear is still very much on trend, largely due to its ease of wear. Not to mention that you can wear them daily without the need for much care or maintenance. They can generally also handle Singapore’s unpredictable monsoon conditions like seasoned pros. Very often, however, rubber sandals come in vibrant, fruity shades. If that’s not your thing, then these five pairs of black rubber clogs from some of the key men’s brands in the fashion world should be right up your alley.
01 - Balenciaga Bouncer Clog, SGD1450 Balenciaga took its oversized Bouncer sneaker and transformed it into a chunky rubber clog for a more-is-more effect. Looking at the arched sole and embossed upper, the Bouncer Clog pretty much embodies a tyre. These are all signature elements of the Bouncer line, of course. Love to wear matching couple shoes? These also come in sizes for women, so expect to find a wide range from FR35 to FR46. BALENCIAGA
02 - Bottega Veneta Beebee Clog, SGD790 One of the first to make rubber boots fashionable again (do a quick search on Bottega Veneta’s Puddle, which resemble Paddington Bear’s Wellington boots), the Italian fashion house does it again this season. Besides featuring the signature pattern all over, the Beebee Clog even comes with an ergonomic in-sole for daily wear. BOTTEGA VENETA
03 - Gucci Interlocking G Slide Sandal, SGD800 Logo lovers will appreciate the oversized GG motif on the embossed upper of Gucci’s Interlocking G Slide Sandal. The raised platform is also a huge plus, giving you an extra height boost that will elevate your everyday adventures. GUCCI
04 - Louis Vuitton LV Shark Clog, SGD1100 The LV Shark Clog, which debuted at the Spring-Summer 2023 menswear show, is now available at Louis Vuitton boutiques and online store. The perforated detailing on the top is reminiscent of shark jaws, which is where it gets its name. Logo elements, including Monogram Flowers and LV Circle, also star on the rubber outsole and shoe tongue. LOUIS VUITTON
05 - Valentino Roman Stud Turtle Rubber Clog, SGD970 Bigger is certainly better with Valentino’s Roman Stud, this time rendered in an ergonomic rubber clog style for men. The maxi stud detailing forms the entire base, while the anatomically shaped rubber insole makes it an absolute joy to walk in. VALENTINO.
