Wooden shoes are made by hand, or by machines. Making wooden shoes by hand has almost completly disappeared. Only at some places in Holland you can watch people who make wooden shoes just as in the past, like the old artisans. To make wooden shoes of a piece of wood you need to have professional knowledge. The artisan gets this professional knowledge out of experience, but you have to have some natural ability. You would know that you need a lot of insight for the making of wooden shoes. The left shoe has to be exactly the same as the right one. Of course, you also need good instruments. The artisan maintains his tools really well, and his knifes and hatchets become even sharper while he is working. All the different tools have a special name (the name is even different from area to area).
