Clog comfort is difficult to beat | Letter

Prof Roger Bayston extols the virtues of wearing wooden shoes

I was interested to see the article about the decline in clog wearing (Experience: I am the last traditional clog maker in England, 22 February). I had “flat feet” in the 1970s, perhaps due to working in hospitals with underfloor heating.

During a visit to Sweden in 1974, I noticed many people wearing wooden shoes, and decided to try a pair. Instant comfort.
