I left Manchester in late 1980's. Then, there was still a clog maker working (Stockport).

I wonder if there are any still going.

When I lived in London, I found Dutch Clogs ideal for gardening. Being all wood, they stood up to saturation from the London clay, which would have simply rotted leather.

When I worked in electronics, I was required to wear lab clogs, as are many lab workers still. They had a conductive stud through the soles, to prevent wearer acquiring a static charge.

The last clogs I had similar to traditional Lancashire clogs were Whitehaven clogs.

A former next door neighbour is Swedish, she always brought me a pair of Swedish clogs each visit she made to her homeland.

And Scandinavian clogs is what I currently wear. I favour the Danish Shipyard-workers clogs.
