The Culture and History of Shoes


 
Fashion & Cosmetics
What can shoes bring to us? In Holland, if a man is struck by lightning, his relatives must bury all his shoes as soon as possible. Only in this way can prevent spread of supernatural power. However, the ancient Greek declares that the beat treatment for stomach illness is to eat an old shoe's tongue. In Madagascar, people believe wearing shoes that made of monkey's skin can cure any disease. Mather in Italy likes to tie a red bowknot on children's shoes. They think this can divert devil's attention. In China, people wear new shoes in New Year means a new beginning of life.

Shoes become more amazing in fairy tales. In Puss in Boots a pair of shoes can help those heroes overcome all kinds of difficulties in their journey, and finally obtain the wealth. Some shoes can bring people much wealth when they walk a step, but some can lead people to despair. The crystal shoes in Cinderella help her find her prince, but shoes in The Red Shoes make its host run to death.

Where can shoes take us to? The answer is anywhere. The first shoe was created in about ten thousand years ago. It is said that in the south beach of Africa, a group of people lived there. They had worn the pickled fur of animals, and use a cane to truss a pile of leaves as shoes. This may be the first shoes. Though it is not wearable, it is easy to get and has practicability.

Later on, people invent shoes that we call it scandals today. Although it is dull in design, it is sure the earliest scandals made by hand. The archaeologist has found that there were two types' scandals then. Why scandals appeared in places have such a big distance? The sociologists consider that with the change of the world temperature, large scale migrations of primitive man began to settle down in corners of world. They cope the way of making shoes from people they encountered on their way to migrate.

When it comes to the production of boot, we can see from some historical records. The ancient Sparta warrior had worn the red boots and red clothes to fight. They thought red color can cover their blood flow from the wound. This red boots are soon popular with the Spartan youth.

Summary: Just as other things, shoes also have its special culture. This article will make an introduction of shoe culture for you.
