故麻鞋底 Sameuro Gyeoreun Meteuri Chyang (삼으로 겨른 메트리 챵)
Gomahyejeo is the worn-through sole of a hemp sandal. It went by the name cheollima, thousand-mile horse, and the pieces chosen were the ones walked ragged; the nose-cord of a straw sandal left by the roadside carried the same name. Nothing about it survives in use today.
