“It is unusual for the children to go bare footed in Summer but not in Winter.”
It is usual for the children to go bare footed in Summer but not in Winter. It was usual for the women to ware no shoes until they would go close to the town.
Long ago the used not to ware clogs until they were big boys and girls. If a man or women was getting married that was the time he or she wore the first shoes.
