Yeah, astonishing that people “probably” started wearing shoes to protect their feet. Was that an idiotic statement, or what?
As to the designer who is so surprised at how modern the shoe looks, one has to wonder just how many variations we could actually have for the shoe, even now.

Nope, my guess is the hay was to cushion the foot.
