Jacksonville World Travel Insights
Clunky wood shoes? Yuk!! No, wait a minute. What would keep your feet dry and warm and also be worn as safety shoes? And be fun to dance in. Wooden shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], of course.
Wooden shoes have been around since the 1300's,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. They were the only things that kept the farmers feet dry and warm and are more comfortable than they look.
To make a perfect pair of shoes take some fresh wet balsa-white poplar wood,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cut in square blocks, then chop and smooth to the right shape and there you have it. Now some paint to protect the wood and you're ready to go. Traditional clogs (as wooden shoes are called) were painted yellow with red patterns on them. Each village had their own pattern. Now they are painted all different colors and patterns.
Clogs are still worn by farmers and construction workers and where ever safety shoes are required in Holland,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Some plants used to distribute clogs to their workers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Clogs are still worn in Holland and many modern shoes have been styled after the clogs.
Still wearing clogs are the windmill keepers of Holland,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Windmills have been used for land drainage, corm milling,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and saw milling since the crusades. Out of some 9000 windmills at one time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there are less than 1000 remaining. For centuries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], windmills were the primary source of power in Holland.
Here in America windmills contributed to the expansion of railways by pumping water from wells to supply needs of steam engines,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. (many a western movie has a windmill in it). Windmills are still installed on farms and ranches in remote parts of the western United States.
From the windmill came the wind turbine which converts wind energy to electric. These turbines are all over the world. Of course, these look nothing like the original windmills but operate on the same principle.
Such a unique pair of footwear that is both creative and useful. Wood has always been a good and tough material which has been used since ages ago to build houses and storage spaces. Thus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it certainly provides the safety of one's feet if made into a pair of shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or clogs for this matter. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even though the article says that the comfort factor is there,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I am still doubtful about it because wood is known for its durability and an added a layer of paint will make it even more sturdy. Thus, I am still hesitant to believe that those clogs are said to be more comfortable than they look. Perhaps I need to first try making a pair of those clogs and wear them to experience them myself,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], maybe with an extra layer of cushion would be great.
