The population in the areas in [[Prussia|Prussia]], [[Poland|Poland]], and [[Russia|Russia]] in which Mennonites lived wore leather boots reaching to the knees, and when the Mennonites from these areas migrated to [[North America|North America]] 1873-1880, in the prairie states and provinces, they naturally brought this practice with them. Here all but the most conservative adjusted themselves to their new environment in the matter of footwear, supplanting boots with shoes. The most conservative were the [[Old Colony Mennonites|Old Colony Mennonites]] of [[Manitoba (Canada)|Manitoba]], and even among them all made the adjustment except the ministers, the guardians of tradition. Thus the Old Colony Mennonite ministers of [[Manitoba (Canada)|Manitoba]], [[Mexico|Mexico]], and [[Paraguay|Paraguay]] in the 1950s still wore the traditional boots <em>(Stiefel) </em>for which they believed to find sanction in Ephesians 6:15, "An Beinen gestiefelt, als fertig zu treiben das Evangelium des Friedens" (Luther translation).

The older generations of all North American rural Mennonites, particularly the most conservative groups, also held fast to the older customs in foot wear, wearing short boots, or old-style shoes with, elastic instead of shoelaces. Still earlier the most conservative rural Mennonites in Europe continued to wear buckle-shoes or slippers (with knee-breeches) after this item of costume had generally been abandoned by the population. Elder Jacob Horsch of Würzburg-Giebelstadt, Germany, grandfather of[[Horsch, John (1867-1941)|John Horsch]] , was one of those who held longest to the buckle-shoes.
