The Unremarkable Shoe Exhibit

Show form donated by Jimmy, Charissa and Cecil from Little Boxes Vintage, LLC in Gays Mills, WI From archeological and paleoarcheological evidence, experts hypothesize that shoes were invented around in the Middle Paleolithic period approximately 40,000 years ago. However, it wasn’t until the Upper Paleolithic period that footwear was consistently worn by populations. The earliest shoe prototypes were soft, made from wraparound leather, and resembled either sandals or moccasins.
