- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)the people of this locality out of every hundred have been purchased in the drapers' shops in the surrounding towns and villages. Unlike the tailor the shoemaker always worked in his own house and his workshop which was generally his kitchen was the meeting place for the prowlers who spun yarns or wanted to hear local gossip.The shoemaker though working away at his "last" was always a social being and generally chimed in with the richest tale of the night.
The labourer and his wife wore "high-lows" or else "clogs". The "high-low" had a very thick leather sole paved with very heavy nails made by the local nailer and tips made at the forge. These tips were made from worn horse shoes and were usually the substance of a donkey's shoes. The upper made of the heaviest of "kip" leather was higher than an ordinary shoe but lower than the upper of a boot. These "high-lows" never knew what boot polish was. They were greased at the fire every Saturday night with goat's tallow or goose-grease or the fat of certain portions of a "barrow pig". This(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
