In The Hay Fields It was certainly hot in the hay fields this week Men who are wearing my Elk skin shoes tell me they did not have the trouble with their feet that they used to have with old fashioned taned shoes. Elk skin shoes are mineral taned and do not attract the heat, and they are so soft and pliable that they can’t help but be easy. Try a pair next time.
