   shoes were somewhat larger and longer than the others which were generally square in shape. A quantity of nails sufficient for one pair of boots or shoes was called a "set". There were then brought to the shoemakers and neatly driven into the soles. Steel "tips" for the heels of working men's shoes were also made by the nailers and many men get these made nowadays in blacksmith's forges.
