  1. Care of Feet

    Share Share Post
    In former times no young person wore boots until they were getting married which was generally between the ages of seventeen and twenty one. Many people in the past never wore boots or shoes. All the children from ten or eleven years down, go barefoot during the Summer months, but no people go barefoot all the year round nowadays.
