- Long ago the people wore no shoes or boots but they wore troighthíní.
Troighthíní were stocking doubled and pulled down over the ankles. They were up to twelve years before they wore troighthíní.
A man named Hugh Keogh who lived in Liskeavy never wore a shoe. He is dead now.
When the people washed their feet long ago in the night time they threw out the water and if there was any devil in the house he would be thrown out with the water.
James Mangan my grandfather was a good shoe maker.- Collector
