Best wood for shoes In the special insert, the Klompen Feest Souvenir booklet, the story on Klompen I wooden shoes), neglected to mention that willow wood is the best for the traditional Dutch shoes. Willow wood is non -porous, when dried, it does not soak up water. It is also a lighter wood resulting in easier wear. Unfortunately due to a typographical error, the story read that poplar is the best wood for shoes. The qualities attributed to poplar wood in the story are actual- ly those of willow wood. While poplar is the most plentiful wood in the Netherlands, it is not the best for shoes. Because of its porous nature, water soaks the wood and the Dutch know that waterproof shoes are a main requirement in their wet land. The Clinton Sarah Hale Chapter of the LODE made and donated lap robes to the Clinton Hospital this week. IODE members Clare Macaulay, left and Mary Murphy. right Ontario made the robes and presented them to director off nursing Jean ('ox.
