Answer:

plain unblackened sturdy leather shoes without buckles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shirts for men were generally made of osnaburg (unbleached coarse linen), while stockings referred to either plaid hose that were woolen, loose-fitting, and not patterned, or knitted stockings made on the plantation. The majority of enslaved people probably wore plain unblackened sturdy leather shoes without buckles. and for women Basic garment of female slaves consisted of a one-piece frock or slip of coarse "Negro Cloth." Cotton dresses, sunbonnets, and undergarments were made from handwoven cloth for summer and winter. Annual clothing distributions included brogan shoes, palmetto hats, turbans, and handkerchiefs.
