Alan Calpe and Christopher Crawford set out to make a shoe for gardeners.
But the bulbous clogs they designed for their brand, Gardenheir, quickly found a wider audience after being introduced in 2021.
The clogs ($78) were among the first items that Mr. Calpe, 46, and Mr. Crawford, 44, released after starting Gardenheir, which specializes in gardening clothing and gear.
But Mr. Crawford said including a shoe among their initial products was something of a last-minute decision.
“It was toward the end, and Alan said, ‘I think we should have a shoe,’” he said.
