Wooden Clogs

Wooden Clogs from The Netherlands
From Maartje (SB)

Just a note about the Wooden Clogs of The Netherlands

The traditional Dutch wooden shoes or clogs (klompen), are a practical part of Dutch heritage and are even still worn in rural parts of the country today. They are still popular with people working in agriculture as they are great for walking on muddy grounds and can be easily removed. They are worn by workers as protective clothing.

* I personally think that most fridge magnet collectors has a wooden clog magnet in their collection because I always see one in their collection's photo. :)
