Shoes

As far back as icemen were shoes. The light shoe was still on mummies. Shoes were made of a leather sole with turned up edges that were held in place with leather, also woven net of grass was attached on the inside to hold hay in place to protect against the cold. The first shoes were worn approximately 40,000 year ago. Evidence shows early shoes were worn in many parts of the world like Northern Europe and China. Shoes were worn for warmth; they were also a cultural item to indicated elevated status with in groups.
