. are soooo bad for Your feet!

My father (from Eastern Prussia) did never do just one step without them
on
our farm! Ice or snow, sun or rain! There must  have been undefined,
ancient, pre-historical [!!!!!]
connections and common interests between the Netherlandic and Eastern
Prussian people that I never did understand ;-) (they really have been)!

Fruendlich, smiling Groetjes

Fiete.

Fiete,

It is known that people from Dutch/Flemish-speaking areas settled in
Eastern Germany and farther east, besides to various places in
Northwestern Germany (e.g., Friedrichstadt and Altes Land) as well as
Scotland, and that they left their marks in numerous communities.

Besides, wooden shoes (clogs) used to be worn in many places outside the
Dutch/Flemish area, such as in Northern Germany (_Klompen_ ~ _Klumpen_
and _holten Tüffeln_ ~ _hulten Tüffeln_), Britain, Wallonia, Northern
France and Scandinavia.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
