  2. Care of the Feet

    Share Share Post
    People wore boots at the age of fifteen. No people went without boots for a whole year. If two people wash their feet in the same water the second person says "Tuigam [?] tuisge salac".
    There were no shoemakers in this district. Clogs are still worn. Farmers wear clogs. There was never leather tanned in this district. People wear shoes and sandles as other feet covers. People wear sandles during Summer. They wear shoes in Winter and Summer.
