What are the wooden shoes worn in Henan in winter?

Kanagi version of sandals.

Kanagi version of straw sandals, with a history of thousands of years in China, has been worn by people from primitive humans to now.

In ancient times, not only ordinary people generally wore straw sandals, but also emperors, ministers, literati and chivalrous men wore straw sandals. According to historical records, Liu Heng, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, once "looked at the DPRK without borrowing straw sandals" (called straw sandals "not borrowing" in the Han Dynasty), and Liu Huangshu in the Three Kingdoms period also made a living by selling straw sandals. It can be seen that straw sandals have played an extremely important role in the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization.

It is said that sandals are not actually made of grass. The earliest straw sandals were made of reeds, which have long been out of sight. Now the straw sandals are made of cotton cloth. The sole is made of thick wood, which is unaffected when walking in snow and water, and has excellent warmth retention.

Because these shoes are too heavy, few people wear them in fine weather, and they will only be taken out to wear them in cold winter and rainy and snowy weather. The picture shows the villagers wandering in the countryside of Pingyu County in sandals.
