Care for wooden clogs?

I bought a pair of plain shoes (not painted) to work in the garden. Do I need to do anything to them before wearing them?





BTW, I know to wear 2 pairs of socks. ;-)





Sorry to put under %26quot;Travel%26quot; but figured it was the best place to find someone from the Netherlands.

Care for wooden clogs?
I%26#039;m not from the Netherlands, but do own a pair myself. If they are good clogs, you do not need to anything to them, just wear them and go. Actually, I don%26#039;t think it matters if they are good or not, just wear them. They don%26#039;t need any treatment or whatever. Try to keep them dry as possible tho to prevent rotting.
Reply:Why not contact a shoe maker or repair store? Doesn%26#039;t it make sense that you should put some kind of protect ant on them? Look in yellow pages for shoe sales, repair, or shoe maker. A hobby store would be able to help you. I buy weather protect ant for my outside art projects. Try that, it will work.

YOU can wear more than just 2 pairs of socks!!! LOL





I have a pair of wooden shoes. DON%26#039;T wear them much and I live in HOLLAND MICHIGAN where we have Tulip Time Festival every year!





Lots of Dutch Dancing with dancers wearing wooden shoes! The Holland High School Band wears wooden shoes when they march in parades!
Reply:Hey just wear them. As all shoes in a time they will be worn out. And if they do you have a good reason to visit our country again.
Reply:It has nothing with question, just a fact.





Traditional clogs were made out of willow or poplar wood and are associated with the Netherlands and Sweden as part of the touristic %26quot;Holland%26quot;/Swedish image, where they are seen as a form of national dress. Because of this, Dutch people are sometimes called cloggies, that is, clog-wearers.





In Dutch, clogs are known as klompen. They have been officially labelled as safety shoes, passing European standards for the CE mark with flying colours. Today, Dutch clogs are available in many tourist shops.





Wearing clogs is considered to be healthy for the feet.

I don%26#039;t think you need to do anything to them, I am Dutch and just inquired with my Dutch colleagues but none of us heard anything about clog care. Well nobody wears them anymore anyway. Just wear them. Have fun and good luck with your garden
