When I was a kid, we wore anything we could find. We even kept the boxes our occasional new pair of shoes came in so we could make insoles to cover the holes that so soon wore into the bottom of the shoes.
I wore a Good Will suite to the Prom as a kid in High school!
I have also used card and paper to line shoes and boots. Have even torn newspaper into square for TP for my grandparents, though I think they could have afforded proper TP, just set in their old ways. Kids don't appreciate what is available to them nowadays
