  1. The Care of the Feet

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the people of this parish wore no shoes. But in later times they wore shoes called slogs. The clogs were made of sallie wood and they were very heavy. They people had to make those shoes themselves. Some people leave off their shoes in summer, and others cannot leave them off at all. Some people wear sandles which are made of rubber. They are very light shoes.
