Full Historical
In the early civilizations sandals were the common footwear until the shoes we introduced “by the mountain people who lived on the border of Iran”. The mountain people made the shoes to protect their feet from cold weather and they used animals they had killed. Until the 1800’s shoes were more commercialized as they were stocked up in warehouses from different shoe makers. By the late 19th century the shoemaking industry were produced by factories and was increasingly mechanized. “As the female presence in the workplace grew in the last few decades of the 20th century, so too did their heels. In the early seventies, platform shoes and wedges were popular among women, though they became less-so in the eighties and nineties. Men’s shoe trends, however, were markedly static, as oxfords and loafers remained the dominant style. In 1986, Doc Martens, once heralded as an anti-fashion statement, were considered socially acceptable.” This means that throughout time the way the shoe is made has been changed drastically. Since technology has been advancing it only makes it so much easier to make a shoe with factories and such. Which then becomes a problem because now they use other things to make a shoe.
