‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:10‭-‬18‬ ‭Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless. ❤❤❤

Around war time, these were real safety foot wear in Germany. Even steel workers wore them. They are robust, heat resistant and reliable. And if made properly, they are healthy to wear.

[@dracul1986]

there even ones for Dyke builders, since the stones used where so massive, the clogs got thicker so they could withstand about 600kg dropping on them, while normal clogs can take about 300kg. I believe they even have versions that where used by smugglers, where the footprint would be in reverse.

[@ChainikB]

Heat resistant huh?

[@andrebartels1690]

@@ChainikB yes, heat resistant. Wood is less heat conductive than any other shoe making material of that time. It doesn't shrink like leather, it doesn't get soft and sticky like rubber. It simply smoulders away. Plus it's pretty easy to obtain, unlike rubber was at that time. Those shoes walk on broken glass with no intruding pieces, they will not get cut on sharp edges, they protect your toes from falling objects, they insulate against mild heat and mild cold like normal work boots or even better. They don't get damaged by fuel or lubricant, water won't seep in. They can be a bit slippery, so you might want to watch your step. And, of course, they're not suitable for running at all. My grand father told me, you could see them literally everywhere.

[@ChainikB]

@@andrebartels1690 few droplets of metal or sparks and your legs are on fire

[@andrebartels1690]

@@ChainikB no, that's not how wood burns. You get some charred stains, yes. But unless you put them in a bonfire, solid wooden shoes are actually harder to set on fire than you might think. Try for yourself, hold a lighter to an old wooden cooking spoon (or some other expendable wooden item of similar thickness) and let the flame lick on it for a minute. It will smoulder, but it will not burn. And the other side will get hot very slowly. Enough time to get rid of the heat source, and if necessary get rid of the shoe. And because there are no laces, they are pretty quick to kick off.

I'm Dutch 🇳🇱 and i like my clogs 😁 and I can verify that they are very comfortable on your feet. Clogs here are allowed as safety shoes and you've got them in al shapes and forms. You have the traditional all wooden clogs these were invented for farmers. The wooden top protects your feet when an animal steps on it they have excellent floatation properties as well you are less likely to sink in wet soil which we have a lot😅. You have got them as a sort of Crocs so you can step in more easily those are mostly made with a wooden sole and leather top. You also have ones with wool padding for the winter months steel tips and so forth. A other nice thing about clogs is that they are easy to personalize if you would like your's to be unique.🙃 And what he says about the even pressure on the foot is true if you wear them a lot your foot wil wear the wood in and wil fit your foot perfectly. One big tip for if you want to buy clogs buy them one size oversized so you can still put them on with thick socks for the winter and it makes it easier to step out of them😂😂

Allowed as safety shoes? So I could work in a factory and wear clogs?

[@KevinJD2030]

@@cat_city2009 yes if the direction allows it you can. In factory's it depends on what kind of work you do with heavy objects you will need the steel toe tip ones of course. On farms and light duty work like a building sites wooden clogs are allowed as safety shoes also your boss needs to allow it. The norm in the Netherlands is if there are no heavy objects that can fall everything is allowed to wear on light duty work like building sites, farms and such wooden clogs or steel tip shoes with classification S1 and S2. The heavy duty sites like steel processing plants and such you need to have shoes with classification S3 or higher. There are clogs with S3 steel toe tips so technically you can even wear clogs on the heavy duty work sites😁

Clogs were the Cheap shoe in many cultures. And at that price, they were not sculpted to match your foot.

Dr Scholl's are absolute garbage and a total rip off. I wear these "custom" insoles by Powerstep.

Had back and foot pain since I was 9-10yo and I was in constant agony (my mom didn't take my complaints seriously until I was ~16 so it just kept getting worse). Then we went to that place, had my feet mapped, and I've been wearing Powerstep Pinnacle Plus Met insoles ever since and my feet have never felt better. At that store they cost $75 a pair. Found them on Amazon for like $35. The only other option was this one place that did the same thing but then told me they'd have to custom make basically the exact same insole and it was going to cost almost $400 a pair. My parents didn't want to spend that much money for my feet not to hurt (I also didn't think it was worth it tbf lol) so we just went the Dr Scholl's combined with other cut up insoles until we found that other place.

Just know that, even as i am learning to prepare for them, those end-of-video zingers are appreciated. Who needs to be serious all the time? And dads the world over appreciate that humor comes in many forms.

[@peet4921]

The only thing i cannot do with mine is, riding my motorcycle.

[@jonnda]

Just don't wear those wooden shoes while doing any plumbing work. Those clogs are just going to make your job more difficult.

[@adam-bf8li]

Eeeyyyy

[@shamardaniel4819]

These dad jokes are freaking amazing! I can’t seem to find my way out of them.

[@5DNRG]

LOL!!! I have those exact shoes!! Got em in Rotterdam in '72. I'm planning to convert them to planters! I even wore them out for a couple years.

[@colinbateman8233]

I apprenticed years ago in the early 70s with a guy who whore wooden shoes I remember the workman’s comp guy getting bent that they weren’t steel toe dam he walked walls joist as we placed them everything as normal

[@rayvg7709]

Here in the Netherlands clogs are allowed to be used as safety shoes. Seen metalworkers, woodworkers and car mechanics wear em.

[@Nicole-vs2kp]

Now I'm curious...how does one aquire these custom fit clogs? And can you walk around with them? What were they traditionally used for?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

They are traditionally the woodworking shoe. You'd wear them kind of like we wear working boots today. They're not great for running but for walking around and especially standing there. Phenomenal. They would have been commonly found in gardening. You can occasionally find them on amazon if you want to get them in the US. Most of them are made in Holland, Michigan but there are a couple places online where you can order them from the Netherlands

[@marieo305]

In the Netherlands you buy a pair and wear them in, a good pair of klompen is orthopedic without trying. Thats the best way to describe the perfect arch in thd footbed of klompen. As for walking in them, kkids in rural parts of NLD can run pretty fast in them.

[@mormacil]

Dutch traditional footwear for farmers and craftsmen. Work great in the mud, protect feet from hooves, nails, bricks etc. Significantly cheaper then steel tipped shoes back in the day.

[@Nicole-vs2kp]

@@mormacil cool!! I wanna try some now.

“I have to come clean” you go, man! Yeah!

[@rockattack]

My Dutch granddad was a blacksmith, and a farrier trimming and reshoding horses while walking around on wooden shoes. When he asked what I was doing he listened and said... "so you sit behind a computer and wear plastic shoe" (pointing at my Nikes) he was NOT IMPRESSED

[@rafaelhernandez6952]

Dude you don’t have to be so funny, you really be killing me with them jokes at the end 😂

[@Astrnauted]

Dude the fact you carved that is incredible

[@gyatanya]

My family is Dutch and my great uncle does his gardening in clogs. He replaces them when the sole wears down :)

[@sacredshogun6325]

I was not expecting that dad joke. It was hilarious 😂🤣😂

[@janetbaker7848]

That joke at the end was so corny it was really funny. Thank you for that.

[@blktauna]

Your carvings are stunning. Bright Blessings on you this Yule.

[@massawassa115]

Aw man, that split second before getting that joke felt like watching a fist fly straight to my face. Hilarious 😂😂😂

[@jayav2877]

"These are clogs that I made-" That's all the answer I needed. That's awesome!

[@ronniewatts9110]

That's how Crocs fixed my back pain... I had to leave my job of 20yrs because I couldn't wear work boots or even tennis shoes so I started wearing Crocs and I stay off concrete and now I work from home... I miss the money because now I'm the boss and I can't bring myself to charge full price, but at least I'm busy.😂

[@Sunburst_skies]

That joke at the end got me, you are certified funnyman

[@infernaldaedra]

The Purple Heartwood looks exceptional like art.

[@vickigonya9432]

Exactly why I wear Berkenstocks ❤😂 those are really nice!!! Great carvings, stunning!!

[@Nrscathy60]

Those are beautiful, you are very talented artistically, along with wood working. Just like my dad. He's 86!

[@animerlon]

Slick, oh yes, for a Dad joke, the delivery was very slick. And sneaky, very, very sneaky. 😂 Back in the 70s, clogs were a big thing. Sort of like the Crocks today. The trend didn't last long though. Not all of them were wood, or all wood, some had leather uppers. I have flat wide feet, so have difficulty getting a good fit. I loved my clogs. They might not have been custom made, but they were so comfy.

[@eggnogalcoholic]

I’m Dutch Canadian and I APPROVE I love everything about this

[@Sqoou_Too]

That banana dad joke clogged up my ears...

[@okboomer6201]

Imagine my surprise when I found a wooden shoe jammed into my toilet. It was clogged.

[@jimbodee4043]

Ahh the dry pan delivery of the banana slipper joke at the end.

[@Life1233_]

“Starts alot of interesting conversations” Me as an introvert: 😳😳

[@YnseSchaap]

Our clog maker had a model of our feet and they were updated every year, when he retired we all got the model of the first clogs he made for us

[@wyomingadventures]

I have worn wooden clogs. I'm Dutch. We celebrate tulip festival every May.

[@aarde7036]

Love wooden clogs!! and wear them too! (Dutch, 60yrs) Nice carving!

[@haroldseaman4243]

I live in Michigan growing up we visit a local town Holland Mi. for a tulip festival. They had a little village and we get a pair just about every year. Same thing when we would visit Mackinaw and get moccasins lol!!! Very cool to see them in use 😊

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

I use to live near there. Great memories!

[@haroldseaman4243]

Outstanding fellow Michigander!!!

[@johnwright9372]

Clogs used to be common in the milltowns of Northern England but no more. In about 1970 I camped on a farmer's field in the Lake District. He had dairy cows and wore clogs.

[@dracul1986]

As a Dutchman who also uses a pair of clogs when he is working in the garden/shed/at the anvil I wholly recommend these, they even double as safety shoes. But since you can buy them so easily over here, nobody bothers to repair them, we just buy another pair :P

[@donnaharvey9460]

We used to have a camera shop that sold wooden sole clogs with a leather top. Most comfortable shoes ive ever owned!!

[@racecarrik]

Ok your pun at the end earned my like 😂 also caught me completely off guard 😅 "Bananas... Why would anyone use a bana... Uh ooohhhh it's a joke"

[@mcdonaldmatthew41]

Gave you a like just because the dad joke at the end made me roll my eyes. The sign of a true master.
