Ghillie Brogie and Pampooties lineage?
There has to be a lineage connection with the Pampooties of the Aran Islanders of Inis Mór, Inis Meáin, and Inis Oírr in Co Galway? They were worn into living memory.

Pampooties were orginally fastened using a leather tong/lace and this simple shoe design appears to have been popular for millennia. A pair was found preserved in a bog in Ireland.
