The Care of the Feet
Long ago no boots were worn until the age of sixteen eighteen or twenty was reached.
As regards water used for washing feet one was supposed o throw out his own foot-water.
The number of shoemakers now is very small compared with what it was thirty years ago - the only local show-maker we had is dead. - Murt(?) Kavanagh of Coolcor, who died 1938 aged about 69. Clogs were sold in Edenderry at Atcheson's shop.
Mrs Daly of the Fens wore clogs always & bought them in Kinnegad. - She wore her first pair from Scotland. James Treacy of Garr also wore clogs & his son wears them still - they can be bought in Mullingar.
