Did Nike, Addidas, or Reebok adore our ancestor’s feet?

Quite simple to come out with an answer “dirt and grime”!
But don’t forget that they marked the existence of everything that we have now. Living and hunting in caves, whiling different seasons and surviving every day and inventing things not just to mark his survival but also to evolve! He looked beasty and totally uncivilized but still he felt the urge to protect his feet. Because he realized that it is hard to survive without a strong feet! Yes! Cave men did wear shoes! The earliest known shoes date from about 8000 to 7000 BC and were found in Oregon, USA.
However, the materials used for making shoes (typically tanned leather) do not normally last for thousands of years, so shoes were probably in use long before this.
The earliest designs were simple affairs, often mere "foot bags" of leather to protect the feet from rocks, debris, and cold. Shoes are made more from leather than a mere sandal, their use was more common amongst people in cold climates. Like the cave men, shoes also kept evolving!
As Europe gained in wealth and power, shoes became a huge fashion statement. Artisans created unique footwear for rich patrons, and new style of shoes developed. Eventually the modern shoe, with a sewn-on sole, was devised.
One very interesting fact, unknown to many is that, until around 1800, shoes were made without left or right foot variation. Such shoes were called "straights”.
Since the dawn of the 20th century, shoe manufacturers become more innovative. Leather, which had been the primary material in earlier styles, has remained standard in expensive dress shoes, but sports shoes often have little or no real leather. Now we have a wide range of shoes to fit our feet and pockets.
Converse Shoes, also called as Chucks or Cons. Though black converse shoes are the most popular, they come in the whole palette range. Chuck Taylor, the famous Basket Ball player adopted Converse shoes as his favorite shoes and late became a leading sales man for the same brand.
Nike launched a series of shoes called the Jordan Shoes, initially designed and endorsed for the NBA Basketball player Micheal Jordon.
Most of the shoes today are associated and promoted by sports personalities. Looks like no sports person wants to compromise on their feet’s health! But sports shoes are not the savior for the commoner’s feet. There are still a variety that adores a commoner’s feet like formal and casual shoes, boots, flip ons, flip flaps, platforms, and uggs and a variety of brands like Nike, Reebok, DC, Puma, Addidas, Prada, Gucci, Kappa, and Dunk to choose from.
So what adores your feet now?
