mice to see superb skills still in use

man.. either this is realy soft wood or he has some crazy sharp tools

#2 never crafted with wood before? Its actually the axe that's sharp. He's a master of his craft though and has put countless hours into what he does to do it so much skills and precision because it is harder than it looks.

Looks like butter....

I wonder if he sells them online, trouble is you would likely need a few fittings, the other trouble is that when they fit you would own a pair of wooden shoes

#3 im a caprenter myself.. and i know how wood reacts to cutting.. and my usual tools would not cut with such a nice finish

#2, #3 and #6 he says in the beginning, they use water saturated wood

Strong hands and sharp tools are needed,but he is working with poplar which is very soft wood.
Do people actually wear these clodhoppers or are they just for show?

#8 These shoes can be custom made. In the old days, they used a piece of cloth to messure the feet. and it was cut out to perfection, farmers (still now up to 40%) wear these 10 to 16 hours a day. it is very easy to walk through mud and wet clay. like it floats a bit on top. They are warmer than leather shoes.

#9 Thanks...and do you wear heavy socks with them too?

I wear them on my free time, got them from klompenmaker in my village. It is called Scherjontjes. Here is the webshop, http://klompen-scherjon.nl/webshop/

There are lots of people still wearing them and it is also healthy footwear.
Also you can use them as protective shoes, they are tested
Can withstand a toe impact of 100 J en a pressure of 7500 N
On the top they can withstand an pressure of 2000 N.

So yes, I am a fan of these shoes.

I wonder what time he clogs on to work?

He must be the sole provider.

#11 I didn't know that clogs were called klompen.
My mother used to scream at us boys for always clomping round the house.

The Neeetherlaaaaaands, fuck yeah!

#15 I know that there are different names.

None of the other names are cognates for a verb in English, and one that describes the sound you'd make walking in clogs. That's why it struck me.

those shoes cannot be comfortable
