T III E P A S 7
By CAROLYN LLOYD

My interest in the history of
shoes is due, perhaps, to the fact
that the combination of the re-
cent unseasonably hot weather
and concrete floors have made
me extremely conscious of my
feet. The only solution to aching,
burning feet would seem to be
sitting with the feet in an ele-
waited position or in a pan of cold
water. Unfortunately, one can
not teach school in either posi-
ton, so the search for comfort
able shoes goes on.
The story of shoes goes back
1000 years. Egyptians preferred
to go barefooted, wearing san
dals only when necessary when
out of doors; while women, ap-
parently, wore none at all until
a later period. Sandals were
made with soles of the papyrus
reed, which was also used to
make the writing paper of that
day, and straps of the same ma.
terial. Modern beach and play
shoes are much like the early
Egyptian sandal. The Greeks al
so wore sandals, but they were
made of leather and those of the
women sometimes had heels of
moderate height. Athenian shoes
showed the social position of the
wearer. Later still, the shoes Of
Roman indicated his position
in life. The shoes of a senator
were higher in cut than those Of
a man Of less exalted rank, while
those of patricians were of rich
leather with ornaments of gold
and silver. The Emperor Aure-
liam forbade the wearing of yell
low, white and green shoes by
men, reserving those colors for
feminine wear alone.
In the 1300's a shoe called
'crackowe" had toe so long
that the wearer had to hold up
the toe with a chain to be able to
walk. Men wore those, not wo-
men,, the sex always accused of
being slaves to foolish fashion.
1t was not until the fourteenth
century that shoes were made to
fit the left and right feet. In that
century, too, in England shoes
began to be made in sizes. The
largest size was 13.
The first American shoemaker
was Thomas Beard, who came to
Salem, Massachusetts,, in 1929.
The cobbler Of colonial days
travelled from house to house,
making shoes by hand. Shoes
were first stitched by machinery
in 1858 after Elias Howe's sew
ing machine had been proved
practical.
Since that time shoe fashions
have come and gone, especially
in women's shoes. For many
years buttons were used as fas-
teners and a button hook was
standard equipment in every
household. Long after button
shoes were no more every
dresser set" remember them?)
still contained a button hook.
Shoe colors were the standard
brown, black, and white. 1 re-
member well how daring l felt
whenI first wore a pair of red
shoes to school.
One thing can be said for the
men of old: they either had no
foot trouble or ignored it with
stoicism. They used their feet
much more than we moderns do,
yet they knew nothing of arch
supports, corn pads, or foot doc

tors. Perhaps it is a shame that
mankind ever started wearing
shoes One thing is certain-we
may not be able to tell wo-
mans social position by her foot
wear, but we can tell something
of the condition of her pocket
book. The sad part of it is, that
sometimes no matter how much
shoes cost, they still hurt. Very
few women these days are guilty
of buying shoes too small out of
vanity, though they still get
credi tor it. The late James
Street stated in an article about
the South that Southern women
have big feet. Some Southern
women may wax indignant, but
the most general reaction will
probably be, $50 what, as long
as they don't hurt"
