Clogs are known by many names such as: Klompen, Sabot, Palotis, Galosis, Dalminis,
and Pattens. Clogs also have several definitions such as: shoes made predominantly
out of wood, shoes for clog-dancing (clogging), and comfortable slip on shoes. Even

main feature is that they have no back or heel, they just slip on and you are out
the door.

70’s wearing clogs became fashionable.
