An open-backed pair of wooden clogs with leather uppers to cover the toes and instep as far back as the ankle bone. The wooden sole is 10" long, slightly curved up. Two supporting feet extend down from the wooden sole, the rear foot is about 2.25" from the back of the sole plate, it is about 1" thick extending across the full width of the sole. The front of the foot curves in an arc to form the rear of the front foot which is about 2.25" back of the toe. On the bottom of the feet are 4 metal studs, two each front and back. The studs are 7/8" x 3/8" and about 5/8" deep. A nail, which is an extension of the stud, is driven through the top of the sole and clinched over. At the front of the sole is an oval metal plate 2.875" long under which is another metal stud 1/2" deep, 3/8" x 1/2" from which a nail is driven back into the front foot of the wooden sole. The leather upper is made of a finished hide with stitched seams and is nailed to the sides of the wooden sole. From the side the clog appears to tilt slightly down and forward. A leather loop, 1.5" long, extends up from the top of the leather upper. The leather uppers are dried out, have numerous scratches on the surface and the back edges.
