Your feet should" be kept perfectly dry at any cost. To effect this, get them encased in a Double-soled Boot, made to your measure out of ENGLISH LEATHER, with a broadish sole, and not too* high a heel. G'-fc the bootmakei to put between the soles some Waterproof Felt, this will effectually prevent the damp from striking the feet.
