They wore boots generally. At Valley Forge, however, the army famously lacked sufficient footwear, and sometimes had to resort to wrapping their feet in rags. General Washington would continually plead with Congress to provide more money for weapons and supplies for the army, but being so short on money already, Congress could not completely supply the needs of the Continental Army, and the army had to make do with what they had.
