"The wooden shoe was used symbolically by anarchists in the 19th and early 20th century, although it has largely faded from use since then. The French word for wooden shoe,
sabot is the probable root of the word
sabotage: workers needing a break from work would supposedly throw a wooden shoe into the gears of factory or farm machinery, effectively stopping work until the equipment could be repaired."
