Trippen might well have been the predecessors of wooden shoes, or âklompenâ, as the footwear is called in Dutch. Anyhow, wooden shoes gained in popularity ever since the beginning of the 16th century.

Today, it's synonymous with an entirely differentâand altogether vegetarianâphenomenon.

The shoe looks adorable on sun-kissed toddlers, but, alas, the fad did not stop there.
