    Homeway journey he took off his shoes and put them on his shoulders. People never put on their shoes going to mass on Sunday till they came to the outskirts of the town.
    When the soles of the shoes were worn out eventually, the soles were taken off completely and wooden soles were put on. The clogs then lasted for about ten years more.
    The women working in the house did not wear shoes but in stead they wore troighíní. These were coverings for the feet usually made from old stockings by cutting off the vamps. There was no necessity for a covering for the soles of the feet.
