- The Care of Feet
Very few people go bare footed now because it is wearing out of fashion. Children used to go barefooted up to a couple of years ago in Summer. It is said the water used during washing should be thrown out because it is said it is not lucky to have it in the house. Clogs were worn very commonly in former times. They used walk to Mullinahone bare footed for to get a pair of clogs and carry them home under their arms because they used be ashamed to wear them.The clogs used be made in Mullinahone.
