    Folklore.
    The only boots the people long ago were clogs.
    The clogs had timber soles and stiff leather uppers.
    The people long ago use't ware any boots until they would be 21 years of age.
    There is a beggarman going around the place and he never wore boots and if you saw his a distance away you would'nt know whither he had boots or not his feet are so
