Footwear of the Middle Ages - Development of Footwear

Antiquity It is doubtful that we will ever know when the first shoes were worn, or what those first shoes were like. As with all to many things, those records, if they were ever kept, have been lost to us. The traditions among shoemakers and historians have held that until relatively recently, shoes were probably just bag-like wrappings of fur or skins in the colder regions and that they remained like that until relatively recently.
