[quote=Anonymous]For hundreds of years shoes were very, very expensive for Americans. Poor people, particularly children in America did not wear shoes during spring, summer and fall and went barefoot inside and outside. They did not wear shoes inside the home (particularly the children) because the family could not afford them. The poors went barefoot inside the house but understand their feet were dirty as they played outside and they only bathed once a week. If you could afford shoes for your children then you were not one of the poors and your children and the adults wore the shoes that they could afford in the home. Barefoot meant poverty. Wearing shoes in the home meant you had clawed your way out of poverty. Americans that wore shoes in the home wiped their shoes on the doormat upon entry. [/quote]
