Rain boots just have to hold on tight.
Fashion is about hacking. Smart and creative, stylish girls often dig into the locker room of other disciplines to enrich their wardrobe. Although rain boots have long invaded the wardrobes of these discerning fashionistas, who choose them from Longchamp or even Celineanother shoe with funny origins goes off the beaten track and is making its way among the most prominent feet on the fashion planet. Usually confined to gardening, these shoes, reputed to be waterproof or even puncture-proof, are now popular with fashionistas and stars.
On the streets of New York at the beginning of the month, Jennifer Lawrence was spotted with these shoes, wearing a red sweatshirt and rolled-up black pants. Watch your eyes, here come the gardening clogs.
Made from rubber or PVC giving them impressive strength, also equipped with a non-slip sole, they protect the feet from snow, rain, muddy ground, wet surfaces and everything in between. It therefore seems logical that in this season marked by bad weather, gardening clogs appear on everyone’s feet. First popular in the Big Apple, they are now invading London.

This is in particular the version imagined by the French brand Plasticana which causes a sensation. And for good reason; the shoe had already graced the American fashion house’s catwalks Bode at Men’s Fashion Week Fall-Winter 2020-2021. Victim of its recent success, it often finds itself out of stock across the Channel. Made from recycled plastic and hemp since 1998, it is now shedding its gardener imagination to appeal to trendy people.
And if it is gaining ground compared to its garden equivalent, it is because it takes into account all its advantages without being burdened with its disadvantages: it has all the protection aspect, but is much more comfortable than said rubber boots. Rising up to the knee, these can in fact cause friction and irritation of the leg after a certain time. In terms of price, the gardening clog is also very attractive since a pair costs only 35 euros.
Eagle, Birkenstock And Superga have also released their own iterations. Paradoxically, while abroad, they are called “French gardener clogs” ; in Paris, the strides of these hybrid clogs are still timid. To be continued.
