- Protection of the feet.Long ago the people did not wear shoes or anything on their feet because no shoes were made then. They got the skins of goats and tied them with strings on their feet to save them from being hurt. My father knows two men who carted peats from the moss on the bare feet and they were thirty and forty years of age. In the months of May, June and July the children go barefooted, but most of them wear sandals on their feet nowadays. Long ago there were no sandals made and the children had to go on the bare feet.
