Not your Grandmother´s clogs
Wooden clogs or zuecos in Castellano and zocas in Gallego, have been the traditional farm wear choice for often muddy farmyards.

I'm a wearer of clogs - have an old pair I wear everyday. Leather Naots over a decade old, falling apart - In a fairytale I love there is an old woman who wears such a pair of clogs as the top pair - I now have a clearer mental image of those old wooden clogs - thank you for it.
ReplyDeleteI just returned from Galiza, the land of my grandparents. I wanted to buy a pair of good old-style zocas while I was there, but didn't have the time to look for them. Back in California, where I live, all I can seem to find is plastic or rubber bottom clogs. Does anybody know where I can purchase traditional zocas galegas just like the ones that appear among your photos (at top)?
