But the man who popularized pants for the modern man is Beau Brummell, the English socialite who caused a sensation by rejected breeches in favor of pants.

Study author Erik Trinkaus, a paleoanthropologist at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, said the scarcity of toe bone fossils makes it hard to determine when habitual shoe-wearing became widespread. However, he noted, even Neandertals may have been strapping on sandals. "Earlier humans, including Neanderthals, show [some] evidence of occasionally wearing shoes," Trinkaus said.
