Welcome to the forum, Emilie!

And it states it sometimes embarrassed citizens dressed in their Best Sunday clothing.

We know that Lincoln had foot problems -- and when your feet hurt, you seek comfort, despite who is around you. My shoes are the first things I take off when I come home each night. Rick Smith of this forum gives tours at Surratt House in handmade, authentic, knee-high boots of the period, and I have heard him complain about his feet hurting after he's put in a four-hour shift at the museum.
