Greetings,
Since I was planning to add some hobnails to my brogans to preserve them a bit from the ususal tear, I was just wondering if anybody knows, how widespread the use of hobnails actually was in the WBTS. Since I'm doing a confederate impression at the moment, I looked trough EOG, an It appears that som imported british made shoes had hobnails, but domestic made ussually didn't. This makes me believe that hobnails wasn't that used.
Is this a fair observation? And would it then be authentic to use hobnails?
