A pair of French chestnut crushing clogs used in the 19th century. These shoes were worn by farmers to trample on chestnuts and acorns to separate the nutmeats from the shells so it could be ground into flour.

These boots weren’t made for walking, that’s just not what they’d do. In olden days these boots made chestnut flour for bread and brew.
