Galician clogs - Zocas galegas
Alfredo Souto (1862–1940) Camino de la fuente (1893) ("Fountain Road")

A zocca is a wooden shoe or clog from the Galicia region of Spain. Unlike other Spanish clogs (Cantabrian albarcas and Asturias madreñas) they do not have teeth or pegs under the sole. A zocca therefore has a pronounced cast to enable the wearer's foot to rotate forward. The clog is made from birch or alder.

There are a number of styles including Zoque ou Zoco which have leather uppers and Galochos which are all wood with a larger opening on the top.

Zoca mounted for a game

A traditional rural game mounts a clog vertically and disks are thrown into it.
