Taking a look at the factory
The production of our wooden clogs consists of several phases – most of which are carried out by hand.
The first phase is to select the wooden bases and arrange them on shelves.
The cutting of leather requires considerable knowledge and skill to separate good parts from bad of the whole cowhides.
Compressed-air-driven nail guns are used for nailing. The clog never leaves the workman's hands, and remains always in view. The leather is first soaked to facilitate shaping around the base.
After nailing, the clog is first hung on steam pipes in order to render the leather more flexible. The last is then pressed in with a cylinder and fixed with a nail – thus the hole under the heel patch.
