# Elevated Rubber Clogs Bottega Veneta Adds Stylish Rubber Clogs to its Rubber Flash Lineup By Elena Rahman | Published 2022-01-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubber-flash References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2022/1/bottega-veneta-offers-an-elevated-take-on-the-rubber-clog) & [bottegaveneta](https://www.bottegaveneta.com/en-ca) The Rubber Flash lineup by [Bottega Veneta](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-atlas-sandal) now offers the Italian brand's elevated interpretation of the rubber clog. The fashion house reworked the [classic design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chunky-boston-clog) to follow up on its women's Rubber Flash mules, offering a simple and chunky style for men. The Rubber Flash clogs for men are designed with a subtle ankle cutout, resembling the women's style. The mules are made from 100% rubber and differ from the women's style with their lack of a platform heel. However, a seamless rubber outsole provides the shoe with a [subtle platform lift](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bae-clog) of 2.8 inches. The unlined clogs are highly versatile. Since they are waterproof shoes, the clogs are suitable for the spring, summer, and fall.
