Step back into rural Ireland, where a good pair of boots was made for hard work, long days and rough ground.

Hog nail boots, or hobnail boots, were sturdy working boots with metal nails set into their soles for extra strength and grip. They were worn by farmers, labourers and workers across Ireland, carrying people through muddy fields, mountain paths and country roads.

But the name Hog Nail Boots also brings to mind the lively Irish reel — music, dancing and good company.

From the fields to the dance floor, these boots tell a story of hard work, Irish music and everyday life.
