Back in the day all men wore dress shoes with leather bottoms, or soles. If anyone has ever had a pair of these shoes you know that they are very slick on most floor surfaces and carpet. The only good traction is on concrete. A man would sometimes take a knife and cut slits across the bottom of the shoes to give better grip or traction so as not to slip and bust your constitution. _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
