No shoes allowed! Ever noticed those signs? You are about to walk into a place but due to sanitary concerns, you have to leave your footwear behind. Usually, a temporary boot or sandal is available to protect your feet. Footwear has evolved over the years.
From the sandals made from a rope to sneakers (so you don’t hear people sneak up on you) to wedges and heels, footgear have quite a history.
They used to look like this.
Ancient civilization making a mark.
Shoes…
- keep us comfortable
- protect from injury
- keep us fashionable

Well, I do love them! I am also intrigued by how they have evolved. Witness an incredible journey!
They were not always elegant and pretty in the way we perceive elegance and beauty today. Makes me think indeed many big things, start small.
Like fine wine, little beginnings do get better. All the more reason to keep learning and to stay the course. Great stories have been written as a result.
A constant about life is that “…we all must get up, dress up, and show up.” For more about learning and staying the course, click the stairs or the elevator?
