SHOES INVENTION OF CELT
How Footgear Was Found Necessary
to Protect the Feet From Injury.

Nobody knows who was the first
shoemaker. There must have been
time when everybody went barefoot
ed, observes Il writer. and the first
shoes were probably made of woven
reeds or skins. The original Slrurlfia<-
ct doubtless sought comfort more than
style. The Celt. who at times wan
dered over moor and morass, at 9TH
erS over stony mountains, invented
shot that suited his purpose.
A sole of heavy hides protected his
feet from sharp stones, while Uppers
or legs OF lighter skin protected his
ankles and legs from thOrnS and
bushes. The buskin was so construct
ed that the water exuded from it as
soon as the foot ceased to be emersed.
In the modern shoe, the idea is that
water be kept out. not let out. The
Celtic buSkin was tough and elastic,
and could be replaced wherever there
were untanned skins at hand. Every
Celt was his own shoemaker. With
the Norman conquest came the intro
duction into the British Isles of tanned
leather. which had long been in use
in Normandy. where it had been intro
iuced by the Romans. Shoes then be-
gan to take on style. and the styles
have never been duplicated in later
days. From close-fitting shoes fashion
went to long, pointed toes, which in
time, grew so long that they had to
be fastened To the wearer'S knees.
