'''''Namaksin''''' ({{Korean|hangul=나막신}}) are traditional [[Korea]]n wooden shoes made for wearing during muddy and rainy conditions. ''Namaksin'' are known as close-toed shoes made of one piece of wood. There was a misconception that these traditional clogs came not from [[Asia]] but from the [[Netherlands]] in the past, but in reality, there had been clogs at least from [[Three Kingdoms period of Korea]], which were similar to [[geta (footwear)|''geta'']], Japanese clogs. Those old ''namaksin'' were called "pyeonggeuk (平屐)". It is presumed that clogs of [[Baekje]] went to Japan, and it became the origin of geta. Clogs in Baekje had three holes like geta, but clogs in [[Silla]] had five holes. How people tied its strings in that era is unclear. In the Three Kingdoms period, there were two types of clogs: open-toes shoes, and close-toes shoes. As time went by, the latter became primary as namaksin. These shoes were worn by Koreans of all ages and social positions, usually in the rainy seasons.<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Kim|first1=Byong-kuk|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/34854884|title=Korea's new horizon: a collection of articles and essays|last2=Sŏul Kukche Kyŏngje Yŏnʼguwŏn|date=1995|publisher=Seoul Institute of International Economics|location=Seoul, Korea|language=English|oclc=34854884}}</ref>
