WHAT DOES HOBNAILED BOOT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

hobnailed boot

Hobnail

In footwear, a hobnail is a short nail with a thick head used to increase the durability of boot soles. Hobnailed boots are boots with hobnails, usually installed in a regular pattern, over the sole. They also usually have an iron horseshoe-shaped insert, called a heel iron, to strengthen the heel, and an iron toe-piece. The hobnails project below the sole and provide traction on soft or rocky ground and snow, but they tend to slide on smooth hard surfaces. They may also have steel toecaps. They have been used since antiquity for inexpensive durable footwear, often by workmen and the military, including the trench boots of World War I. Important design work for the modern hobnailed boot was done during World War I, e.g. the "Pershing Boot" in the USA. Problems experienced in designing WWI USA army boots were: ▪ Tearing at the backstay: cured by sewing the backstay on with 3 rows of stitching each side. ▪ Letting water in: cured by dubbin. ▪ Rotting in foul conditions in trenches: cured by chrome tanning rather than only using vegetable tanning.
