This and That - Chinese clogs


Chinese clogs for sale. Made of unvarnised wood. Varnished ones can have simple designs of flowers, etc painted on as well. The red bit is made of plastic, not sure what the traditional material was. And the red bit is always red (or faded orange), other colours are rare.

Used to be the standard foot wear in the backyard and to the local shops or 'wet' market. Mostly by Chinese women. Clip-clop-clip-clop-clip-clop

Its other uses include crushing vermin (crunch goes the cockroach) and clobbering errant husbands.
