Western University researcher finds Dutch wooden clogs did physical damage

Had Dutch farmers opted for some sensible footwear instead of the beloved 'klompen' almost two centuries ago, perhaps they wouldn't have suffered rare bone lesions in their feet.

But then again, without evidence of those achy-breaky feet, Western University bio-archeologists wouldn't have been able to discover a pattern of bone chips that could help us understand micro-injuries.

What they found was you are what you put on your feet.
