Shoes

The first shoes that came out were the sandals. This developed in hot countries and spread. It was simply made from woven palms, grass or plant fibres and attached to the foot with toe loops. Footwear styles have continued to change throughout the years and still have. It has gone from wearing grass on your feet to things like leather, suede and canvas etc. It has changed dramatically and still is going. In the past century we have seen lots of different styles and colours. Girls can wear the highest of heels and still be able to walk around. In the past few years, fashionable trainers have become very popular. Some of the top brands would be Nike, Converse and Adidas etc. We wear them daily and yet we know so little about the history of shoes. Where are they made? How are they made? And how is geography tied in? This blog is going to be about the geography of shoes and the things we don't know about them. Why are some shoes more expensive than others? Is it because of the brand or the manufacturing part?
