Clogs were a common form of footwear in Faerûn made of wood. They were worn by both adults[1][2][3][4][5] and children.[5]

Availability[]

  • The Order of Cobblers and Corvisers in Waterdeep were known to both make and repair clogs with thick soles, which Waterdhavians would wear during times of rain and snow.[1]
