No they don`t. The wood that is used for wooden shoes is POPLAR wood, that can break when handled roughly, but does not splinter.
Nice word play about the "unvarnished truth". You are right. The wooden shoes (we call them "klompen") that are used for every day use are unvarnished.
Klompen are still used on farms, but that is about it. To us it is as much a folkloric thing as it is to you.

I have a pair of wooden shoes from Holland that my husband wore as a child. They are made so smooth on the inside and outside. Can't see how they could get splinters.

Only the people in Holland who wear the wooden shoes get splinters. The people who wear wooden shoes in other countries, however, do not get splinters.

Do people in Mexico have naps all of the time? Do Canadians live in Igloos? Come on man do you really think all of the Dutch people are running around in wooden shoes? Expand your miniscule mind!

I don't know about splinters but it would sure be hard to sneak up on someone wearing them!

No, but if you smoke after sex, you are doing it too fast.
