Talk:Clog

""Cloggs"" are a UK Brandname for clogs, which already has an entry. User:Wetman

As a brandname, I don't think "Cloggs" should redirect to this article, no? --SeekingOne 01:49, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)

I tweaked this article a little bit. Nothing major. Question, though - what is this about European safety standards at the end of the 4th paragraph? The sentence doesn't really mean anything. Also, it doesn't seem appropriate to have that final paragraph about prices. I didn't want to take the responsibility of deleting it myself, though, without bringing it up here. --SeekingOne 02:00, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)

In the European Union there are very strict rules for the footwear of industrial and agricultural workers. Should clogs not meet the safety standards, it would in many cases be forbidden to wear them at work - and the employer would be punishable for allowing it. In many cultures the price of something is considered an essential piece of information. For a Dutchman e.g. it's wellnigh impossible to conceive of anything material without wondering about its monetary value - for him that most fundamental aspect of social life: economics, is not a taboo subject.

We just don't like taboos. Money isn't the most important thing in the world, but wasting is seems a bit silly. Giving everything an irrational 'symbolic' value is just as weird btw =D. Just look at diamonds and caviar. Shiney stones and fish eggs. whatever *rolls eyes* --Kraftwerk--

Clogs can be very sexy when used properly by slapping, dipping and dangling. Why does spinster want to delete this part of the definition? Any guesses?

Wooden clogs don't look like they'd have been comfortable at all. Anyone ever tried them and felt comfy in them? -- ^{Jack Blueberry (t)}⁄_(c) •  00:40, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Wear thick socks while wearing clogs!

And every year again people walk the Nijmegen four days marches (4*50 km!) on their clogs, so if used to them, they cannot be that bad ;-) Arnoutf 07:26, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Patten

There is a redirect from Patten to this article. Very bad, because that should be a disambiguation page. There is at least one town called Patten in Penobscot County in Maine. Since I don't contribute to EN-WP, someone else should fix that ;o) . Grtx, --Thogo (Talk) 08:58, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

High-heeled clogs for men?

It is commonly accepted that men and women can wear low-heeled or high-heeled clogs. Can someone cite a source for this statement men wearing high-heeled clogs? Otherwise, I think this statement should be removed. Georget99 20:43, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

"They were usually worn without socks which exuded a hotlook." What does that mean??? Mtiffany71 12:44, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Probably depends on your definition of "high-heeled." Many clogs worn by medical professionals in the US are clogs with "higher-than-average" heels, by both men and women.

Japanese Geta

This article should also cover Japanese traditional wooden sandals (Geta), especially since the article is linked from the generic term "wooden shoes". 12.48.196.9 17:49, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

They have Geta (footwear) but I have added a mention with a link here. Johnbod 18:11, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Klompen

There is a redirect from Klompen to this page. But Klompen is also used to refer to Klompen dancing, which is performed wearing clogs.
