cow shoes 300x214 Sneaky, Kinda Brilliant Moonshine Runners set designThe May 27, 1922 issue of The Evening Independent carried a story about moonshiners wearing “cow shoes” to trick revenuers — rather than leaving suspicious footprints leading up to their secret stills, they’d leave innocent-looking hoofprints in the dirt and grass. The New Yorker‘s “Photo Booth” had a good snap of one of the shoes (above).
