    Indeed. There is nothing quite like a near case of trench foot from slogging through the mud and mire of a gloriously mucky week at Ft de Chartres.

    My problem lies in the shoes I wear. They are the GGGodwin rough-outs. I tried the stirrup like your design, but I kept having the undersock peek through as the sides of the shoe are very low.

    Maybe tailoring it a bit longer and taking it on down the foot a bit with an elastic stirrup...hmmmmm. You've given me something to chew over. Thanks!

    That's what I did! You have to look close to realize they're footless....

    Hey Brian

    I was hoping you would chime in!
    Last night I was working with some paper patterns trying to see how it works before cutting the cloth. The website was an immense help......thank you!
    I really do like the footless version as it makes TOTAL sense here in Oregon where we are subjected to wet and muddy ground for much of the year.
    They also look easier to construct!
