Problems with shoes, there was always a problem with shoes. People who had children would have known that if they鈥檇 evacuated, those shoes would have been no good now as the years had gone by, so they used to either sell them or barter them, so it was always second-hand shoes. My father used to always cut the front of our shoes out, so that our feet wouldn鈥檛 be restricted but they鈥檇 sort of show, and it amuses me now, it was almost all the children had shoes with their feet sticking out; their toes would all hang out their shoes. But nowadays that鈥檚 the way everybody wears them, so the fashion seems to have come back again. I can鈥檛 say I went barefooted, but our toes were certainly hanging over the edge of the shoes, and everybody was the same.
