Also, it occurs to me that by using a little leather loop or pad at each end of the chain that one might could also install some small snaps by which one could attach the chains to the shoes. In this manner one would be able to add or remove the chains to the shoes whenever one pleased. With a little thought a number of possibilities come to mind.
