- Care of the FeetRobert Bent and George Shudall used to make boots and clogs. Nick Bent of Littlegraigue, James Murphy of Levidstown, Barry Hunt of Seafield and Bil Cummins of Johnstown repair boots + shoes. A few people wear clogs in Winter, and the poorer children go bare-footed in Summer. Burle's yard in Duncormick is called the "tan-yard".
After washing the feet, the water should be thrown out, because it is unlucky to leave it inside. It is also unlucky to wash your feet on Friday, they should be washed on Thursday.Dick Roche,
