    boots in winter. There are made of very strong leather and there are nails on the soles of them. Long ago the people of this district used make their own boots and shoes but no one in this place makes them now. There is a man in Ballinacourty who used make his own boots but he does not make boots now but he mends boots for other people. A few people in this district used wear clogs with wooden soles. The people of this place do not wear clogs now. The boys of this place wear sandshoes sometimes in the Summer.
