You will probably think these shoes are for ice climbing or glacier walking, but these shoes were actually used by 19th and 20th century pig farmers in France. Chestnuts were common pig food in the 19th century, and pig farmers would walk on them wearing these shoes to crush the chestnuts to make them easier for the pigs to eat. #batamuseum #batashoes #whatsmyline #shoeexhibition #chestnutcrusher #chestnut #shoes #spikey #ouch #pigfeeder #history #museum #museumhistory #fashionhistory #fashionmuseum #whatisthis #torontomuseum #france #frenchhistory #frenchfashion #historicfrance #frenchhistory #19thcentury #20thcentury #pigfood #farming #farmhistory #historicfarming (at Bata Shoe Museum)
