Baffin, the maker of performance footwear and apparel, has entered the recovery footwear market with a post-hike clog.

The Recovery Clog features a solid upper construction to help protect against debris in outdoor environments, slip-on functionality and water-resistant materials, ideal for post-hike recovery in changing conditions. Each pair includes a Baffin-branded carabiner to secure the clogs together or clip them to gear, enhancing packability for travel.

The first product crafted with B-Tek LiteStep, Baffin’s new proprietary compound, Recovery Clog has a flexible upper. The outsole is engineered for supportive rebound and underfoot relief. A multi-directional slip-resistant tread ensures traction across varied surfaces, while a non-marking sole enhances indoor and outdoor versatility.

At Baffin, performance doesn’t end when the adventure does,” said Jessica Liut, VP of Marketing at Baffin. “Recovery Clog delivers comfort, protection, and ease in the moments that follow the journey, applying our decades of expertise in technical footwear to the recovery space. This launch also continues our expansion into year-round performance footwear, building on the Spring 2025 introduction of the Terrain Collection and our entry into the multi-season hiking category.”

Recovery Clog is Real-World Tested (RWT)* Elemental Rated, foundational and functional performance. Comfort is best achieved with light activity, and Baffin’s testing team has found it comfortable in environments where temperatures of 10°C+/50°F have been experienced.

Available in men’s (sizes 7–14) and women’s (sizes 6–11), Recovery Clog comes in four colorways: Black, Navy Blue, Desert Tan, and Sage Green.


Methodology: *Real-World Tested (RWT) level evolution is a vehicle to bridging the gap between product and application. RWT is a system which helps to recommend cold comfort levels associated with Baffin footwear. Each level has been determined by extensive use of Baffin product in real-world applications on expeditions and jobsites around the world.
