I did not know that clogs originated in the Netherlands.
Never saw the machines on which they were making clogs.
I still have a question: was it really convenient to walk in clogs? And they did not rub their feet?
I would not mind having a clogs painted small in the form of a souvenir.
Thanks a lot for your reply and questions? As guide explained the thick woolen socks should be put on for convenient to walk. Also small clogs as magnets and keychains are very popular souvenirs:D
Thanks for the explanation!

The clogs look very lovely but I doubt many will wear them outside... It might be nice to hang them on the wall as decoration.
Also that clog with horns look like it came out from a fantasy movie, something a dwarf or elf would wear! I wonder what occasion those are for? Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for your reply! Concerning these unique clogs let me note that these clogs from the 9th century are traditional shoes for brides in Pyrenees and were a gift to future bride on Christmas evening :D
In my opinion, the person who created this is someone who has art, they are creative people
