When we think Dutch, there are two things that come to our minds-
windmills and Clogs sandals. People who have been to Netherlands
will agree they haven’t seen people in clogs frequently in the streets.
Clogs have now vanished from the fashion scene and only those
people wear clogs who have a close affinity to them.
But this fact actually holds true for people who haven’t been to the
rural areas. Anyone who has been to countryside in Holland will agree
that almost every soul who stays there walks around in clog sandals or
boots. This is safe option for anyone who wants to walk around on
swampy grounds without slipping. Moreover, Dutch clogs are even
actually certified by the European Union as a safety shoe because they
can withstand sharp and heavy objects as well as concentrated acids.
About Dutch Clogs

This was one of the prime reasons why Clog was invented in the
first place for mine workers. The idea was to keep the feet
protected from the sharp objects, give a good grip to the foot while
walking in the mines and provide durable shoes that did not wear
off easily. Eventually women started wearing clog sandals and
other footwear items that were made alongside the same pattern as
clogs.
Skilled artisans know how to make clogs which are as durable and
comfortable as handcrafted clogs. The wood for the soles of these
clogs had to be selected carefully so as to avoid them chipping off.
The leather uppers were shaped and attached in such a manner
that the toes were comfortably settled in and gave enough room for
them to breathe despite being inside the enclosed space for a long
span of time.

The clog sandals for women are also made on the same
line. This footwear has been widely accepted by women
all over the world and they are made keeping in mind
the trends in the footwear industry. Traditional Dutch
clogs had other purposes.
In the 19th century, it was a tradition for a fiance to
present his future bride with a pair of long pointed
wooden shoes made with the utmost love on Christmas
Eve. It was a pleasant surprise for every Cinderella who
ever dreamt of her traditional wedding and a husband
who vowed to love her for the rest of his wife.
