- (continued from previous page)Some shoe-makers make boots in Oughterard still. Some people also mend their own shoes too. Around Oughterard, nearly all the showw-makers' people before them were shoe-makers. There were more of their trade here a few years ago.
Clogs were worm five or six years ago by a great many people. Those shoes were wooden ones and they were bought in the shops. Long ago the people used not sew the shoes at all but they used stick them with gutaperca. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
