History of Shoes.

There are no records of when exactly shoes were invented. In Mesopotamia (c. 1600 - 1200 BC) a type of soft shoes was worn by mountain people who lived right on the border of Iran. It was made of leather that would wrap around your foot (like a moccasin).
Pictures of different shoes that are on record date back to Egypt about 5,000 years ago. Just like clothing, shoes were invented for protection from cold, heat, and different sorts of terrain. In ancient Egypt, the sandal showed a persons rank in society. Slaves would have been left barefooted or wore sandals made of palm leaves. Common citizens wore papyrus with a flat sole tied to the foot with a thong between the toes. Pointed toe sandals were left for the higher stations of society.
Sandals were also worn in Greece, Rome and Mesopotamia.
