  1. Boots and Shoes

    Share Share Post
    Very few people go barefooted nowadays. Children used to go barefooted all the year round even through the heavy frost and snow during the winter. There were numbers of people that never wore shoes. It is very rare to see a big person going barefooted nowadays but it was not so long ago. Children did not wear any boots or shoes till they were twenty years old, they wore boot with timber soles which are called clogs.
