- (continued from previous page)now than long ago. People wear clogs in this district yet. The clogs are far warmer than boots. The clogs wear longer than boots. My grand father used to wear clogs in the winter. The clogs are hard and the leather of the boots softer. There is a wee piece of tin on the toe of the clog to not let it wear away quick and there are two pieces of tin on the sole to save it. People put whango in the clogs because they are stronger than laces. When you would walk the laces would break and you would want to be getting new laces every day.
