The old black galoshes with the metal snaps was the footgear which I wore over my regular shoes with the best socks that could be found and I stuffed newspaper around from ankles up to help insulate! The galoshes snapped on over the newspaper! On occasion I wore panty hose which helped! Wore those playing football also! Best jacket early on was a bluejean jacket and a few short years later after coming home from military was a field jacket with liner!
