<< I know a Skomager is a shoemaker, and Træskomager is another kind of shoemaker. Does Skomager denote making shoes of all kinds, including leather shoes..., whereas Træskomager is wooden shoes only? I couldn't find anything in Otto's dictionary or in Haugen's that would list the distinction, so I must turn to those of you who are fluent in Norwegian, old and new. >> Tresko are wooden shoes. These were the first form of safety boots are were or maybe still are worn in the barn. If you have ever had a cow step on your foot you know the value of tresko. Jostein
