Gee they used shoes as a fashion statement? Did they wear Birkenstocks?
I wonder if they had corner stores back then.

Like mine is bigger than yours?
Is that not 36,000+ years before the universe was magically created?
I am more appreciative of whoever invented pants .
Bottom line...You just did what you thought best. Man was never an idiot.

Truly, sir, all that I live by is with the awl: I
meddle with no tradesman’s matters, nor women’s
matters, but with awl. I am, indeed, sir, a surgeon
to old shoes; when they are in great danger, I
recover them. As proper men as ever trod upon
neat’s leather have gone upon my handiwork. —Shakespeare, “Julius Caesar”
I do love so the National Geo. They can take the merest sand grain of fact and turn it into a beach of speculation.

Did they have Ghetto's filled with Urban Troubadours back then also?
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.
