Cloggies

Something that you can’t resist to buy as a tourist, the Dutch clogs are available in many shops here. They are associated with the Netherlands as part of the touristic Holland image, where they are seen as a form of national dress. Because of this, Dutch people are sometimes called cloggies or clog-wearers.

In Dutch, clogs are known as klompen and traditional clogs were made out of wood. But nowadays they are hardly worn except probably for few oldies in some villagers.
