I’ve always loved how cute these wooden shoes look, but can’t help but wonder about their comfort!

Cool shots of the wooden shoes. I like the way they look but wonder what they feel like to wear them.

I remember seeing wooden shoes like this all over the Netherlands when I visited there! Never tried on a pair, however.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and visiting!

I just love those wooden shoes! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve tried wearing those from Holland before, I could hardly walk without attempting to fall flat on my face

does anyone really likes wearing these wooden shoes?

Hi Grace! I too have wondered at how comfortable they are, and I’m also curious to know why the toe curls up like that? Is there a practical function for that?
Great pics for the wooden photohunt! I also have one of those – though mine is so tiny, it wouldn’t even fit on anyone’s small toe LOL!! (Well, maybe a baby’s)
Happy weekend Grace!
Sabine’s last blog post..Photo Hunt – Wooden
A wonderfully traditional item, but why did the Dutch make their shoes of wood? That is something that just came to mind. I never wondered it before. And comfort–my shoes have to be comfortable, so I have ALWAYS wondered about that one.
Kathy S’s last blog post..Photo Hunt–Theme: Wooden
Very cool shots.
heather’s last blog post..Saturday Photo Hunt:Wooden + If: Multiple
so the shoes are not for decoration but still actually worn. That’s great.

I never realised they came in different shapes for different purposes! More to learn all the time – thanks!

that’s interesting…I had no idea there are garden shoes and dike shoes! I sure would love to try wearing them in the future.
