Snow shoes

safety shoes aka Klomps

 

Spoiler

The traditional all-wooden Dutch clogs have been officially accredited as safety shoes with the CE mark and can withstand almost any penetration including sharp objects and concentrated acids. They are actually safer than steelcapped protective shoes in some circumstances, as the wood cracks rather than dents in extreme accidents, allowing easy removal of the clog and not continued pressure on the toes by the (edge of the) steel nose.

They are also the root of the English word "sabotage." That is since the Dutch workers would throw their shoes (sabots) into the machines that were taking their jobs.

 

Safety First!
