Brief introduction of wooden shoes

The wood of poplar and willow becomes the best raw material for making wooden shoes. People usually make relatively closed wooden shoes in their own villages or regions. In this way, after centuries of development, wooden shoes not only have the characteristics of warmth, firmness, moisture-proof, sweat-proof and comfort, but also show different regional characteristics. In Holland, wooden shoes are still a symbol of engagement. When a traditional young man and woman are engaged, the man should give his wooden shoes as a token to the woman. Almost every Dutch man should make at least one pair of exquisite wooden shoes for his fiancee in his life. This kind of wooden shoes is beautifully shaped and exquisitely designed. The common pattern is that two hearts are intertwined, symbolizing love, and the Turkish button on the upper cheek symbolizes eternity. Together, they mean eternal love. If the wooden shoes given by the man to the woman are exquisite and fit, and the woman thinks that the man is capable, sincere and loves her, the future marriage will be reliable and happy. On the day of engagement, the future bride can put on wooden shoes to show her engagement. Sometimes after marriage, she will continue to wear these wooden shoes, but usually because the bride's wooden shoes are too beautiful, she is reluctant to wear them, and they are often hung on the wall of her new house, symbolizing happiness and auspiciousness in life.
