Clogs Global Market Report 2026

There are two main types of clogs such as casual clogs and occupational clogs. Occupational clogs are specifically designed for professional environments where comfort, support, and safety are essential. They are made from various materials, including leather, rubber, synthetic materials, and others. Clogs are distributed through multiple channels, both online and offline, and are available for various end-users, including men, women, and children.
