clogs
Blocks the drain
Clogs are shoes with thick wooden soles, traditionally worn for protection or warmth.
The rigid base elevates the foot above wet or dirty ground.
Dutch wooden shoes are the iconic example, though clogs appear across cultures.
As a verb, to clog means to block or obstruct: Hair clogged the drain.
Something that clogs up becomes jammed or congested: Traffic clogged the highway.
