{{Short description|Traditional Korean wooden shoes}}
'''Namaksin''' [[:File:Koreanclogs.JPG]] is a kind of traditional [[Korea]]n [[clog (shoe)|clog]] made of wood for protection against [[mud]] and [[rain]]. Unlike Japanese [[geta (footwear)|geta]], Namaksin are close-toed shoes made of one piece of wood. These traditional clogs came not from Asia but from Holland. The Dutch [[clogs]] have dated back to medieval times made totally of wood almost identical to the Namaksin. In 1651, Dutch merchant ships wrecked off of the shore of Korea. The sailors that were left there made Dutch clogs to sell to the Koreans and they quickly became traditional footwear. Unlike most clogs, the Namaksin were worn well into the twentieth century. These shoes were worn by Koreans of all ages and [[social]] positions, usually in the rainy seasons.

'''''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>
