Reply:The word for sandal is not Grecian but does relate to pre-Hellenic times. Scientists estimate people first wore animal skins during the Ice Age (5000,000 years ago). Rough shoes protected the feet of Stone Age people from rock and thorns. The first suggestion of foot coverings appeared in rock paintings from the late Paleolithic period (15,000 years ago). Spanish cave paintings show humans with animal skins around their feet. A major disadvantage was animal skins decayed and rotted away in a very short time. Sandals were believed to be the first crafted foot coverings and successors to primitive wrappings. The designs were both simple and practical. Straps or thongs attached the stiff sole to the foot for protection. Two basic designs prevailed one involved thongs fitted between the toes and the other more sophisticated had loops and holes along the edge of the soles for attaching thongs to the foot (Broby-Johansen, 1968). Soles were made from almost anything that was available including leaves and wood. In Ancient Egypt sandals were made from papyrus and palm leaves; rawhide was used by the Masai in Africa. Wooden sandals were made in India and rice straw was used in China and Japan. The leaves of the sisal plant provided twine for sandals in South America whereas the indigenous populations of Mexico used the yucca plant. The oldest surviving examples of papyrus sandals are exhibited in the British Museum and dated at 1,500 BC. The thong or toe strap became distinctive in sandal design. Subsequent civilisations preferred different toes, the Greeks for example made use of the great toe; the Romans, the second digit; and the Mesapotanians, the third toe. These distinctive, physical entities were also recognised and captured in Egyptian statues, and this was thought to represent celebration of other cultures. Sandals remain popular today yet their design has changed little from antiquity.
