The evolution of footwear

There is a possibility that the ancient man started wearing an early form of "footwear" as long as 40,000 years ago. Before this people endured pain and Foot Servitude and treading on the rocky terrain without the protection of the feet.

Although it is Barefoot must have limited their movement in some respects, eventually allowed our ancestors to quickly transition from floor walker to the tree climber whenever large predators suddenly appeared.
France and Spain, Cave pictures to 30 000 years old depict people with shoes, made from animal skin or fur. Other images of the cave dating from 16,000 8000 B.C.E. Show "foot bags" is probably taken from the skin.

More measurable, sage bark Sandals have been unearthed at the site of Fort Rock Cave, Oregon. Make estimates of approximately 11,000 years.

And the famous "Ice Man," Mummy 5,300-year-old discovered in the Austrian Alps, was wearing a pair of shoes with raw hide and bark stuffed with dried moss or straw To the legs of his warm.
Most scientists believe that the invention of footwear arose independently in different places at similar times. Create carpets of foot and mouth disease was the most likely caused the necessity and in different conditions of a particular area.

For example, the ancient moccasins were used to allow faster treks on the floor of the forest, while oil insulated that the boots are fashioned against freezing snow. Clogs, on the other hand, were used as a sturdy footwear in wetter areas.

From such uses practical footwear evolved also serves the objectives of a purely aesthetic. Already the ancient Greeks and Egyptians are usually shown on the ancient urns and hieroglifów as donning Sandals.
In particular, the Greeks are well known for their traditional and sexy looking sandals. However, the early Egyptians developed more practical sandals, with the upturned front of soles to protect mouthed fingers.
With time the footwear has a rather absurd changes. Although more practical shoes Moccasin norm during this period, 14th century courtiers used leather footwear featuring long pointed toes. Some were so long that the advice was appended to the string or chain to prevent a user potykania it — of course, not to the function of fashion.

Similarly, in the middle ages,humble Sandals evolved from something practical in something awkward. The predecessors of modern shoes high-heeled shoes put increased strain on mouthed feet. Since then, there has been a steady rise to problems related to foot-and-mouth disease.

Although the footwear protects feet from the acquisition of wounds and parasites, allowing longer travel and working hours, are still benefits of walking barefoot once in a while.
For one going shoeless allows inactive muscles in our feet and ankles to stretch. Natural terrain, which we can thread, such as Acupressure, provides a therapeutic effect.

Quite recently the test made in the countries with the highest incidence of children going barefoot yielded some interesting results. It was found that the youngest had generally muscle legs, better attitudes and thicker soles.

Currently many companies but with the ergonomic design of footwear. They are getting benefits will shoeless designs innovative shoe that molds to the natural contours of the foot.

Such styles enhance the sturdiness of soles, ensuring maximum blood circulation. Some even employ the philosophy of reflexology and added the backs, which mimic the Acupressure to inner soles.
Like humans, footwear continues to evolve and hope for the better.
