Clip Clop Fades As Rat Tat Tat Heels Dominate Japan
In Tokyo the traditional geta give way to women's spike heels signaling a fashion shift. Production of wooden clogs plunged from 250 million annually a decade ago to 70 million in 1970, with women’s clogs dropping from over 175 million to about 10 million. Western styles and mass footwear production drive the change, though some view wooden clogs as luxury or curious keepsakes. The priciest paulownia clogs sell for about 55 dollars, compared to around 42 dollars for imported women's shoes.
