History Of Sandals

Sandals are curious about the history of the shoe. On the other hand, are very old, the oldest shoe literally that we know. On the other hand, are very modern, just really get into the European and North American culture in the last century. In this article, I will discuss the fascinating history of the sandal.

Sandals, as you probably can guess from the name, the shoes are developed in areas with lots of sand. If you have already put her son to a beach park, immediately find the problem with walking shoes in a beach environment. Quickly filled with sand. Accordingly, the shoes have been developed many places to escape the shoes.

In addition, sandals much easier to do than walking shoes. Creation of shoes (especially waterproof) shoes that cover entire foot requires advanced techniques for tanning was not developed until the end of the Roman Empire. Shape and sewing leather in such a way that is sewn across the base is rather complicated (it is no coincidence that many communities simply cut their wooden shoes - it is easier than to use of leather).

But what makes the sandals a large areas of sand makes the Terrible in wetlands. What helps the sand will also allow the water. As anyone who has been in the water in their shoes to know that wet shoes is very inconvenient. Moreover, it can easily destroy the leather shoes are. As a result, the wetter regions of Europe do not use shoes at all. They were simply not useful in humid climates.

But in modern times has changed two things. Firstly, more and more open public beaches and a range of leisure culture developed. For this reason, people began in Europe and North America want a shoe made of sand. In addition, guided the development of the car for cleaner streets means that we constantly walk in horse dung. As such, people were more likely to wear their sandals, at least in the days without rain. Sandal found its place in urban street wear, especially among groups such as cultural-cons the Hippies.

Sandals is both an ancient and a modern and well adapted to dry, especially sandy climates.
