Footwear had a good deal to do with the course of the conflict. A surprising number of the troops went barefoot at al stages of the war.
The Confederates were not able to import boots and shoes, as they would have expected to, owing to the Union blockade. And of course they had no manufacturing facilities of their own.
So they were especially motivated to kill the enemy in order to take his boots or shoes off him.
Also the Gettysburg campaign was partly aimed at capturing a large boot-and-shoe factory nearby.
