unshod

The lowing of cattle and the soft stumbling tread of many unshod feet told him that some one was approaching.

The name was derived from the sand used to cover its surface to spare as much as possible the unshod feet of the horses.

It kept his unshod foot from freezing, and brought the blood back to his numb hands.

Here is a boy of only fourteen years, his face innocent of a razor, his feet unshod and stockingless in the bitter April weather.

His white stockings flashed as he thudded along; his unshod hoofs fell with a soft beat on the grassy waysides.
