ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Clog (British)

A clog is a type of shoe that looks a bit like a sandal or flip flop but with a closed toe. They are made out of wood, leather, and other materials. They have a thick sole that helps you walk on rough surfaces without hurting your feet.

People wear clogs when they need to protect their feet from rough terrain, like farms or construction sites. And some people just like to wear them because they think they look cool.

Clogs are different from other shoes because they make a clacking sound when you walk in them. It's kind of like the sound of horse hooves on the ground.

Clogs have been around for a long, long time. People used to wear them in Europe and Asia hundreds of years ago. Nowadays, you can find clogs all over the world.
