Clog
shoe making: Clogs
are a form of shoe worn in the work place.
They consist of wooden soles and leather uppers. Once widely worn their
popularity has declined over the last fifty years. Clog soles are shaped
on a stock knife, as seen here. Alder wood was favoured by cloggers. Their
working speed was such that they could produce up to 300 blocks per week.
Clogs could last for up to 20 years, and were worn by those in a variety
of jobs. They were particularly popular in the north of England and Wales.
