wooden sandals

Hard sole slides

Wooden sandals are footwear with a rigid wooden sole, typically held to the foot by straps or thongs.

The category includes Japanese geta with elevated platforms, Dutch klompen, and various traditional styles from cultures worldwide.

The wood provides durability but little flexibility: The wooden sandals clattered on the stone floor.
