    Leather was never made in this district. Boots are not made locally but they are repaired locally. There are three shoemakers in this district and some of their people before them have been shoemakers. Some people can repair their own shoes. There are less shoemakers in this district now, then there was long ago.
    Clogs are not much worn now but years ago, many people wore them.
    Long ago, when people got a new pair of shoes they would eat hardly anything, for twelve days, as it was the custom.
