- Long ago people did not begin to wear boots until they were about fifteen years of age. Children go barefoot in Summer and Autumn and wear boot in Winter and Spring. The water in which the feet are washed in usually thrown out in the yard.Boots are not made or repaired locally. The nearest shoemaker lives in Bunclody. There are more shoemakers now than long ago, because boots are worn at an earlier age at the present time Clogs are still worn in the district but they are not made locally.
