Note E78 — 17.
Reading edition
A cart or wagon whose wheels are hooped and clouted with iron is called in Lincoln a shod-cart or shod-wain. In the Paston Letters, ed. Gairdner, vol. ii. p. 245, we have "clot shon" = boots tipped with iron. "Clowte of a shoo, pictasium."—Prompt. Parv. Cf. Milton, Comus, l. 634:
"The dull swain Treads on it daily with his clouted shoon."
In Lancashire a "Clout-nail" is a large nail used for fixing iron clouts on the wooden axle-trees of carts.
