Have you seen these uniquely-shaped devices near the front door of an older home? Before industrialization, far less roads were paved and far more people worked outside, meaning peoples’ shoes tended to get a lot more dirty! When folks came home with dirty shoes, they would scrape the build-up off their soles using one of these scrapers. Boot scrapers still come in handy in rural areas – unlike the common door mat, these things dig into all of the shoe’s nooks and crannies to scrape off all of the excess grime.
