Did you know?
Historical finds prove that the Egyptians made the first sandals around 4,500 years ago. They were made from palm leaves, papyrus fibers and raw leather. The models were stretched and tied at the end of the foot. This type of sandal was ideal for hot climates and therefore spread to Asia, America and Africa
The first and one of the most popular shoe models of the Greeks and Romans were also sandals. Unlike the Egyptians, however, these were long, reached halfway up the shins and had many laces. In both countries, however, footwear was not divided into men's and women's shoes. In Greece, sandals were even only allowed to be worn by free citizens, who could thus be easily distinguished from slaves. In ancient Rome, clothing and shoes were a symbol of power and wealth and were worn according to social position and status. Here is an example: Roman soldiers wore sandals. The more laces the sandals had and the thinner the sole, the higher the rank of the soldier. While the sandal had to have a certain beauty for the ancient Greeks, the Romans focused on the practical side: they wanted to conquer the world with comfortable shoes. Only later did they decorate them with gold pieces and precious stones.
While sandals lost their importance for a few decades, they are very much back in fashion today. Today we appreciate that sandals offer the highest level of comfort, they are fashionable all-rounders and hard to beat in terms of comfort. So they are ideal for hot summer days.
