Why? I had never heard of putting bags over shoes. I grew up in MS on a farm. I walked from the door out the yard to the bus. Then whn we got to school we only had about 50 or so feet to the door. Back then we wore bobby socks and saddle oxfords. The good ole days.
We weren’t all that poor but I remember plastic bread bags on real snowy days. It was pretty embarrassing because I was the only one.
