One of a pair of miniature clogs with a wooden sole and leather upper. Metal segs are nailed to the sole of the shoe. It belonged to the donors father, Ernest Lang, who bought them from a friend who was a miner. The miner had broken his back in a mining accident in the 1920s and made clogs like these to bring in some money.
