For the better part of the 2020s, cowboy boots have surged in mainstream popularity, maturing into an everyday staple over the past six years.

Now, Wrangler and Chaco, each a heritage brand in its own industry, have teamed up to blend Wrangler’s enduring Western style with the easy-wearing, rugged builds Chaco is known for.

The Chaco x Wrangler Suede Clog is the kind of mashup that shouldn’t work … but absolutely does.

Howdy, partner

At first glance, the Suede Clog looks to be a cowboy boot that’s missing its heel and upper shaft.

However, the collaboration style between Wrangler and Chaco is much more considered than a simple chop job.

The comfy Western slip-on is built with a soft suede upper that features an oversized, detailed buckle as well as toe bug stitching.

While it’s decorative on these clogs and on most boots today, toe bug stitching was originally used to help the boot break properly across the top of the foot.

The Suede Clog is built for the campsite, slow mornings and everything in between.

Underfoot, Chaco’s proprietary footbed and outsole provide comfort and grip built to handle various types of surfaces.

While it’s by no means cheap, the Suede Clog is unexpected and unique … and will serve as an excellent conversation starter wherever you roam.
