In case you didn't see it last Guy Day Friday, Annie Mohaupt of Mohop Shoes has announced a line of sculpted wood soled sandals for men. Woo-hoo! Thank you, Annie!
In case you didn't see it this past Tuesday, Annie let me know that those new men's sandals are available for purchase through her shop on Etsy! Woo-hoo times two!
And what's more, both of the two styles above are available in your choice of three different leather/wood stain combinations. Woo-hoo cubed!
Does Annie Mohaupt not rock???
You can find the thong style here.
And the slide style is located here.
I don't see any limitations on sizes in the Etsy listings. So whatever your size, just follow Annie's instructions (i. e., provide a measurement of your foot and scan and send her a tracing) and she'll be able to work her woodshop magic for you.
Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo!
It's a shame that most of the country is heading into winter at the moment. These shoes will make a sweet summer sandal. But maybe the fact that they've come along now is just perfect. What a great gift for you guys to put on your holiday list! Or you gals to surprise some special guy with!
Thank you again, Annie!

By the way, I know some of you male clog fans are lucky enough to be able to fit a women's size 11. So I thought I should let you know my own pair of the Storytime lace up clog boots from BC Footwear just arrived. I like them so much that I'll be devoting a sizeable post to them next week with lots more pics. But I thought I'd flag them for the guys right now since they are decidedly unisex to my eyes. Available through BC Footwear and plenty of other universally resourceful locations on that wildly wonderful web.
Sorry for the goofy seated-on-the-floor pose. I wanted to show off the fact that the faux fur cuff can be worn up or down
With pant legs down, they're just a mild-mannered clog boot. Not the best pants for these shoes since the heels are 3" and the pants are intended for my usual 5"-ers. But I thought it would give you an idea.

[On my feet as I blog: OMG! OMG! OMG! OM...well, you get the idea. Another day spent in my Nadine clog booties from Koolaburra. Oh, and these are the same pants as pictured above. See how they work better with the tall heels?]
Love the new sandals. The quality of wood is awesome and looks top quality.
Please give me your heart on Swedish Hassbeens site. I have entered a contest to win a pair of clogs. My photo is called "Equality in wood clogs". I must call out to all my clog people to support me. Please have a heart for me. There are clogs at stake here.

I voted for you Evan. I hope you win. Remember, Hasbeens run small. Order a size up.

thank you London lady. As of today we are in 49th place out of 58. We are only 195 hearts out of 1 st place. I think I would have a "Lindsey clogasm" if I won the unisex clogs boots.

Hey, I love your entry! And what's more, I have a pair of those "off road sandals" at the rear of your line up of shoes! I knew you had great taste!

Great minds think a like. With the search for wood footwear brings you across many styles. Some can be a lot of fun. These are the clogs that we have in common. There are other that just don't match.
Posted by: Evan | 11/12/2011 at 10:12 AM
Great minds, yes. But also footwear fans with a discriminating eye for proportion and sizzle. There are a number of styles that most of us agree on. I think it's because those styles press all the right buttons in the right balance.

Hi Lindsey, hows the sole on the new BC's? Manmade? Heavy? Light? Comfy? Thanks!

I'm planning to feature this new BC clog bootie all by itself in an upcoming post. I think it's that good!
But to answer your question: the midsole is manmade, not wood. And the upper is some sort of fabric material. It reminds me of durable felt. I'm actually wearing mine today 'cause I was going to be on my feet a lot. They're quite comfortable in my opinion. And light? Let me tell you, when I picked up the box from Amazon.com in my lobby, I couldn't believe there was a pair of shoes inside!
Also worth mentioning: I've gotten some compliments on them in just a couple days of wearing them. They're very cute on the feet. Even in my end of the spectrum size. I'd mark these as recommended. They're not the most amazing clog boots evah, but they are a very decent shoe at a very reasonable price.

Thanks for the feedback! I may have to get these over the Kork Ease Maya that I'm currently drooling over.
Posted by: Kelly | 11/13/2011 at 08:13 PM
Oh, dear! Regular reader Melissa Krebs has the Maya, and I've seen 'em on her. They are awesome, too. Boy, that's a tough call!
