$50 · Authentic Wooden Shoes from Holland, with Souvenir Book and Museum Pamphlet.

These are the most special traditional Dutch wooden shoes, model “Aarle”. These yellow clogs have a unique print painted on them by hand by the clog maker. The base color of the clogs is yellow. The clogs are decorated with brown noses with dots around them. The inside of the clogs are not painted, as usual and left blank. Clogs are mostly made out of willow and poplar. Willow wood is preferable, but it is scarce and therefore significantly more expensive. Both types of wood have a fine dense grain and are fairly durable. The clog maker uses the wood when it is green and young. This fresh, still moist wood (60% water) is suppler and therefore easier to work than hard, dry wood. Bought these when visited Holland in the 90s. Wore them once to try a short time and distance. Need to wear a few pairs of socks to make comfortable. Comes with the Museum Pamphlet and Souvenir Book. Ad Condition: Used, Good. Size: Adult. Thank you for looking at my post. I check my emails 1-2 times daily, but may be delayed due to health conditions, which require me to visit hospital.
