Gloves were worn on the feet until the summer of 1347, when the King of Saxony imposed a "Taxe on Foote Gloves" which the populace neatly avoided paying by swapping their "Hande clogs" onto their feet, and their "Foote Gloves" onto their hands. In defiance, a group of extremists to this day wear wooden clogs on their hands and dainty knitted gloves on their toes. In this area of Saxony, it is impossible to buy food in screw-top containers.
