In Lancashire all-wooden clogs were made too. There was a feature on North West news sometime in the 1990s where a clogmaker made a pair of all-wood for an Asian man with oversized feet who couldn't find shoes to fit. My grandad had two pairs of clogs from the pit as well, one with leather uppers, one all-wood.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00354635601579291164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955507870794027120.post-30420201129051198312013-02-21T10:28:34.007+00:002013-02-21T10:28:34.007+00:00I don't make many dance clogs but the preferre... I don't make many dance clogs but the preferred choice for many is Phil Howard, who makes a very nice clog, with his own machined soles. The teams often use Walkelys who sell soles and make their own complete pairs. If you go there and find a pair that fits, well and good.

There's nothing different in his work. Machined sole, 20th century upper designs, thin spray painted leather and soles derived in design and function from the Walkelys mass produced soles he used to buy in.Jez Atkinsonnoreply@blogger.com
