Joy,
Not in Stith Thompson as far as I can see.
Rather vague I'm afraid, but I did hear of it in relation to kicking matches in the north of England when two men would face each other with their hands on each others shoulders and take turns at kicking the other's shins.
The contestants would wear clogs shod with steel hoops, but in cases where the floors were flagged, in order not to unbalance, they would only wear one clog and shoe on the (non-combatant) other foot.
The practice was explained to me by a friend who recorded a story from a man in Bolton, in Lancashire, but I don't know whether it was an individual case or general practice.
