Medieval Irish wooden overshoes draw fresh interest
Original: Zuecos irlandeses bajomedievales (1150-1550) de aliso y tejo, que se llevaban sobre los zapatos, para caminar por el bar
Archaeologists and history enthusiasts are revisiting late-medieval Irish clogs from 1150-1550, carved from alder and yew wood and worn over regular shoes. The overshoe design protected wearers as they walked through mud, water and other waste covering medieval streets. Examples are held at the National Museum of Ireland, which highlights them as an early example of practical, weather-driven fashion.
Why now: The unusual design of these medieval protective overshoes is being shared widely as a curious example of fashion history.
