If you ever get a touristy trinket from a friend- it will probably either be a clog magnet, a Delft replica, or something to do with Tulips.
Do people actually wear hard heavy clogs? Do dutch people wear real clogs today?!
Clogs, or klompen in dutch are traditionally made of wood. They are officially accredited at "Safety Shoes" and can withstand anything from sharp objects or concentrated acid. They were often worn for farming or in factories.
The Dutch no longer wear klompen, but they are often used for gardening an considered as healthy for feet and posture.
