For centuries, traditional wooden shoes, known as clogs or klompen, have shaped the Dutch landscape, once worn daily by farmers and fishermen. Today, what used to take days of manual work is often done in minutes by machines. With only around ten traditional clogmakers left in the Netherlands, the craft is under pressure. At a workshop in Zaanse Schans, we meet 22-year-old Maximilian, who has been working as a clogmaker for three years. As he demonstrates the craft to visitors, he represents a new generation trying to keep it alive. As the old masters retire, we have to ask: Is this tradition finally walking toward its end?
