Why are Japanese slippers clogs, don't their feet hurt?

Wearing clogs for a long time will definitely hurt your feet. Clogs are mainly made of wood, the material is hard, and there are two straps as a kind of connection when you wear them, you need to use the thumb of the foot to clip the strap to walk. If you wear these wooden shoes for a long time, they can be very painful for your feet and your feet may get red and swollen.

The clogs are made of thick wood and have a certain height that makes a squeaky sound when you walk, as you can see from the shape of the clogs. For the feet, it takes a certain amount of control to be able to control the clogs well enough to walk. For the feet, they are not in a relaxed state, but rather in a tense state, and when wearing clogs, the feet do not have a good level of comfort, and they do not move as freely as they would in normal shoes. It is necessary to hold a force to control the clogs, which makes the feet feel uncomfortable. If you wear clogs for a long time, your feet may become deformed.

It is because clogs are painful to wear for long periods of time that the Japanese only wear their traditional dress, the kimono, for important occasions, and then wear clogs with the kimono. Clogs have been preserved for a long time because it is a tradition. Nowadays, it is very difficult to see Japanese-style clogs in Japan. If you want to see Japanese-style clogs, you can go to a Japanese geisha who still wear these clogs in the traditional Japanese way of life.

Because the clogs have a certain height, it's harder to balance your body in them, and you'll naturally walk at a smaller pace. Generally, they walk with small steps without a big pace, which also improves the elegance of their own walking. Nowadays, clogs are preserved more as a traditional culture. The Japanese habit of wearing clogs was passed down from China.
