- Level of Description
- Yellow wooden clogs bought in Amsterdam, Holland. Showing signs of wear and tear.
- Price €35.95, PLU 650000003549.
- Provenance
- Bought by colleagues of a friend, Dan Parks, for his stag weekend as part of a forfeit outfit. He was presented with them at the beginning of the evening - and after less than an hour decided they were too uncomfortable to wear and so I swapped shoes with him. The next morning I was given them as a gift.
- Associations
- They remind me firstly of a night spent clip-clopping around Newquay, Cornwall and dancing suprisingly well on stage. The stag-do in tow with Dan's dutch mates including caravans, coasteering and chimichangas.
