- Long ago children used be up to twelve or fourteen years before they used to wear shoes. I know one person who never wore a shoe or a boot in her life. Some children go without shoes all the year round. Most children go without shoes in summer. There is no shoe-maker in this district not nearer than Lixnaw or Listowel. The clogs were made in foreign countries but were worn locally long ago. They are worn yet but they are rare. There was old saying long ago that it was the life of a old shoe to polish it.
