I do not know any person in my district who used to make clog shoes. The men who wore them used to buy them in the town. My father said that he used to wear clogs some years ago. Clogs are never worn now. Leather was never been made in this district. Untanned kid-skin and sheep-skin were also used to make foot coverings. My father wore these long ago.
