RARE ABBA TRETORN Wooden Clogs Blue Leather Vintage 1970 ' S Sweden Sz 37 US7 - 7. 5
Item History & Price
We're pleased to offer a very rare vintage pair of ABBA Tretorn clogs in dark navy blue. These authentic Tretorn clogs were manufactured in Sweden in 1976 in collaboration with the leading superstar Swedish pop music group of the time, ABBA. They were extremely limited edition and endorsed by the band.
These wonderful clogs were hand crafted in Sweden using traditional clog manufacturing. These have a smooth upper navy blue leather, a terry cloth padded heel, natural block sole ...with hard rubber outsoles. The leather is in excellent condition. There is some wear on the terry cloth insole padding by the toes, and the rubber outsole and wooden heel and platform show some wear and scuffs. However, these authentic ABBA Tretorn clogs are in excellent vintage condition. Please see pictures for overall condition.
These clogs are a European size 37, which translates to a US size 7 or 7.5, or UK size 5. They are slightly wide, and the exact measurements are:Length (from insole tip of toe to back edge of heel cup) 9.5" Width (widest part of outsole) 3.5" Heel Height about 2", Platform 1"Please check measurements to ensure a great fit.
"In the 1970s, Swedish clogs really took off, championed by one of Sweden's most successful exports: ABBA. The super group made the shoes unisex, partnering with Tretorn to release their own line, and Björn and Benny, the male half of Abba, even released a song called "Träskofolket, "which translates roughly into "The Clog People."
Sweden is where the wood and leather clog was born. It’s where uberstars ABBA came from, bringing clogs into mainstream fashion back in the 70’s. It’s where children are raised wearing clogs as a staple from the time they can walk."
