I'm writing for the first time. My name is Hama.

Reading The Yomiuri Shimbun Osaka edition of June 11 and learning that the information is wanted, I'm posting it now.

Eight-sole sandals were worn by carpenters and those engaged in iron works in particular. Before the war, as no safety shoes for working were available as they are now, and work places were not so safe in addition, those people put the sandals on to protect their feet.

The above information is based on a story told by my grandfather a carpenter, and for him, being posted by me (as my grandfather doesn't use personal computers). Questions, if any, will be forwarded to him
