Price?
I am starting to wish I'd bought Husqvarna instead of Stihl 8 years ago. I loved using our old Husky 268 decades ago.

Youd never see them over here, or at least i never did anyways.
Are they comfortable to wear, what are they made out of.

Honestly I wear them very little, i used to but now when I wear them for an hour I walk funny for a day. It's good fun wearing them in a supermarket or something as you can hear them from far, also very handy in the tractor as you can kick them off easily.
They are still quite common under farmers, contractors, bricklayers and construction workers.
Very nice to wear temperature wise, cool in the summer, warm in the winter as they are one piece wood.

@tinman the dutch word for them is "klompen". Search for any tractorbrand or anything slightly agricultural and put klompen behind it, your bound to find something.

We use the term clompy boots over here for heavy boots particularly covered in mud.@tinman the dutch word for them is "klompen". Search for any tractorbrand or anything slightly agricultural and put klompen behind it, your bound to find something.
Actually, we used to do self catering houses many moons ago and i vaguely remember a Dutch couple giving a pair of wooden clogs as a present but i always thought they were ornaments as altho they were made out of wood there wasn't anything inside like an insole or comfort for that matter.
its no wonder you'd be walking bow legged after a run in them..
Not to Dis your tradition but who in their right mind id wear yon things these times what with Good year welted soles, air cushions, double stitched and so forth.
with the greatest of respect, wearing them things is akin in my mind to spending a week on Lough Derg (that's a place on this island where you go for some kind of spiritual spin to find the man above while eating bread and water, literally, and steppin about on the cobbles in your bare feet...) not my kind of holiday tbh but some love it.
Horses for courses i do say.
Clompy, That sounds like something out of Shaun the Sheep.

I don't mind anyone dissing a tradition. I think it's stupid you guys drive on the wrong side of the road.
There is a certain knack to wearing them. I am not to big on wearing stiletto's but some people...
On a more serious note, they are surprisingly comfortable. To my dismay, I am just not able to walk on them for very long (I used to).

I've never tried them but suspect it's all about how well they fit. F1 cars use solid moulded plastic seats which work well because they fit the driver perfectly.

Still shocks me people that are STILL saying its only the flu.!
But at least i don't have pay roll , so thats a positive i guess, only me here .
Until only probably 4 week ago I didn't think i would close, but as horror stories start to get closer to home i was a bit glad wen borris pulled the trigger.
So all this time to upgrade, renew and no one will come out to work, no builders yards open.......
And barsteward ebay keeps teasing me with shite that i can't live without ???
