Wooden Clogs?
You can find wooden clogs all over the Netherlands:
KLOMPEN (Wooden Clogs): They've been worn by the Dutch people for hundreds of years because they kept their feet drier than leather shoes. Most Dutch people no longer wear Klompen (wooden clogs) but they're still available for purchase throughout the Netherlands.
The Dutch are very likable people so come to their land known as
NETHERLANDS!
