I don't know what form the uppers took, but I think wooden-soled clogs were common among 19C English factory workers, especially in the Lancashire cotton-mills. The weavers were on their feet practically all day long, and had to walk to and from work along streets paved with stone setts (possibly but less commonly, cobbles).

Of course! The most obvious is clogs the Netherlands. But wooden pattens were common in Europe from the Middle Ages until the 20th century. These are extra wooden soles worn under your ordinary shoes to keep them above the mud. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patten_%28shoe%29
Yes, for centuries and even presently:
Asturian Madreñas in the northern part of Spain worn by farm owners to avoid getting their shoes bogged down in mud.
