Träskor are Swedish clogs typically made from alder, but sometimes birch or pine.[1] Clogs are mainly manufactured in the southern part of the country, both as handicrafts and in factories. In 1905 there were 22 factories employing 241 people.[1] One manufacturer is based in Vollsjö in Skåne; therefore, clogs for business use are branded "Vollsjö slippers." Other notable manufacturers of clogs include Lotta, Troentorp and Swedish Hasbeens.[2][3]
The most common model in Sweden is one with soles made of wood and uppers of leather.[4] Older models are usually entirely of wood, painted to mimic leather or sometimes richly painted with floral motifs.
