- (continued from previous page)made in Raphoe on the premises where Dr. Snodgrass lives now.
I never heard of any sayings or proverbs connected with shoe making. The Care of the Feet.
In olden times people did not begin to wear boots until they were grown up. Some of the children go barefooted in Summer but they do not go on bare feet in winter now.
I only know one shoemaker in the district. George Crawford is his name and he lives in Manor.
There are not very many clogs worn now. They used to make leather in Letterkenny. My father thinks the yard it was made in belongs to a man the name of Doherty now.
I know not know of any shoes that were made from skin untanned.
