I am quite literally allergic to shoes.
More neanderthal genes, I fear.

When you look at it, the known Story of Civilization should actually be the Story of Those Who Built with Stone or Clay. You really have to wonder what civilizations could have predated the Egyptions or Sumarians, but simply didn’t build with a material that lasted long enough for us to find their traces.

The evolution of footware really took off around the time of the invention of the shoe salesman.

Years ago I read an article that addressed how fashion distorted the human body - women deforming themselves to attain that “wasp-waist” look in the 1890s, etc. The writer asked, in effect, “When is a deformity not a deformity?”. He referred to our big toe as another example.
Pictures/statues of barefoot or sandaled people, ancient or modern, showed big toes that were straight. People who wore shoes all their lives had them bent inward from the shoes design. Since most of us wear shoes, and all have “bent” big toes, we don’t consider them “deformed”. (Brings to mind that old classic Twilight Zone episode.)
Japanese people showed a wide gap between the front and second toes because of the “shower shoe” design of their ethnic footwear.
Moving to the other end of the body, consider all the celebreties, et al who cosmetically had a gap inserted between their upper front teeth (which probably matches the gap between their ears).
