  1. People did not wear boots until they were eighteen years of age. There were people there long ago who never wore boots. The children go barefooted now. People didn't throw out the water they wash their feet in until the next day. My uncle was a shoemaker in Reentrisk. Boots are made and repaired in this place. The people used to wear shoes with timber soles long ago.
