Clod hoppers...oh Lori, I'd forgotten that saying! My Dad used to use it for anything chunky you wore on your feet. If we stomped around as kids we were told to stop 'clod hopping around'!

I truly remember that terminology also....does that say something about me?

Hahaha... did you help your Dad in the garden when you were a kid, Skippy?
trying to jump the ditches, with clod hoppers on was no easy fete... my poor Mom...keeping me clean and presentable must have been a full time job!!!
