Clogs were first made in Troentorp just outside Bastad over a hundred years ago in 1907. The small Swedish clog factory was started by August Johansson who had spent the previous 8 years learning his trade from a local cobbler in the Bastad area. Over the years the production process developed and in 1942 Augusts sons, Börje and Stig took over the clog factory.

Troentorp (under a period known as Båstad Toffel or Bastad clogs) has always emphasised the importance of orthopedically correctly constructed clogs, the base being made of alderwood, with the right proportions of the curvature of the clogs' insteps. This is of great importance to give the correct lumbar support for people who spend all day on their feet working in their wooden clogs. We have many customers in the restaurant and care industries who wear chefs clogs and nurse clogs everyday.

We are furthering the tradition started over 100 years ago by August Johansson in Bastad, the knowledge and craftmanship handed down through generations of wooden clog cobblers. We hope that you also will enjoy the comfort of your very own clogs, whichever Troentorp clog model you choose.
