How would those Europeans have gotten across, do you think?

Why is it written in stone that they had to have 'come across"?

Just becasue the existence of the Americas was unknown to the Old Wold for centuries - doesn't mean they couldn't have had their own people all along.

Seems odd that they wouldn't...

actually it usually comes from being barefoot from day one. At most they may have had a hide or leather cover but they had no hard bottomed shoes… tends to make whatever arch you might have had collapse.

Hm- I went barefoot, as a kids, all summer - wearing shoes only when necessary. I have continued this my whole life.p>Shoes, to me, are something to wear only when going to town - or otherwise into 'man's world' - and when cold etc.

My arches - at age 80 in July - are still so high, I can't wear laced shoes...and still very narrow.

I am a barefooter always have been.... had lousy arches as a kidlet and became flat footed before I was 15....and I do mean flat footed.
