Reading options

The account published by the Museum in 2017 brings together memories from Outeiro and Cavez about wearing shoes and going barefoot. The gallery distinguishes slippers and different forms of clogs using examples identified by the source itself.

Compare the soles and the part enclosing the foot. Where can you see wood? Which pairs leave the heel freer? These are documented objects, not models guaranteed to be on sale today.
