Over 4,000 years ago the first shoes were made of a single piece of rawhide that was wrapped around  the foot for both warmth and protection. Mmmm and people say there is no such thing as evolution!

Also most shoes around the world were identical until the first right and left paired shoes were introduced in Philadelphia around 1818 but their use didn’t become widespread until the 1850’s.

Thanks goodness that we live in a more enlightened time! Now where did I put those 6 inch stiletto heels!

Ahhhhhh the progress!
