Aug. 21 (UPI) — A Dutch TV host drove a clog-shaped vehicle to a high speed of 70.05 mph to break a Guinness World Record for a motorized shoe.
Klaas van Kruistum and the team behind his TV series, Klaas Can Do Everything, decided they wanted to create a record-breaking vehicle, so they reached out to British man Kevin Nicks, who set the record for the fastest motorized garden shed in 2025.
The team decided to use a Dutch wooden clog as their inspiration, and used the frame of an electric go-kart as the base for their motorized shoe.
The completed vehicle, with a shoe-shaped shell made from polyester and fiberglass, reached a top speed of 70.05 mph when van Kruistum got behind the wheel April 4 at Breda International Airport in Bosschenhoofd, Netherlands.
The speed was enough to earn the Guinness World Records title for the fastest motorized clog shoe.
