Wooden shoes are an important part of the national costume of the Netherlands. Men wear shirts and go in fat pants; women wear shirts and wear multi-layered skirts. This is the main clothing form that the Dutch usually wear. In terms of foot wear, both men and women wore wooden shoes.

The Netherlands is a “low country” and it is cold and humid in winter, and it is easy to freeze on the ground. It is said that hundreds of years ago, the peasants suffered from having no money to buy shoes, and they could not barefoot on the ice, so they used wood to make shoes. The soles of these shoes are thick, and the toes are pointed and upturned. The inside of the shoes is filled with straw. It is warm and comfortable to wear on the feet, and it does not slip on ice. In front of many farmhouses, there are "wooden shoes corners" dedicated to wooden shoes. The people who enter the house take the wooden shoes there. At the same time, wooden shoes are still the stuff of young men and women. Before and during the wedding, the groom and the bride also gave each other wooden shoes to show their blessings. Pay attention to the wooden shoes, to paint the upper black or white, and then use colored paint on the painted pattern or write the name of the dresser's initials. Wooden shoes are the representative works of Dutch traditional costumes. They often perform in folk porcelain and wood crafts, and thus become a symbol of this nation.
