mens sandals
Mens sandals have been around for since the days of primitive man. In
those times man discovered ways to protect the feet by using the skin of
animals. However, as the skin decayed very fast, they began to search for
other means of foot covering, which were sometimes the bark of trees or
leaves.
From suggestions that have appeared on rock paintings, it appears that early
man evolved two basic designs for mens sandals. One was the thong, which
fitted between the toes. The other was a more sophisticated version, which
came with loops and holes, which were attached through the sole. The sole
could be of any material such as wood or leaves. Over time, mens sandals
have come a long way.
In the Babylonian times, the sandals the kings wore were made from fine
leather with bands of white, gold and red. The Assyrian kings wore sandals,
which had an ornamental heelpiece. The Persian mens sandals were low
open-toed shoes, which had triple laces.
During the Renaissance period, mens sandals took a less thong like look and
appeared more of a modern look, it was known as tagliate a pezzi or cut
to bits. This sandal had open slits on the top, which allowed the skin to
breath while also showing off the wearers hose. It was also a common
practice to bequeath their footwear to members of the family, and it has
been said that the phrase “following in your fathers footsteps” may have
been derived.
Mark Thatcher its been said is the person whos made an impact on the
fashion scene with sports sandals. He designed this prototype as he found
the flip-flop sandal getting in the way of his pursuit of white water
rafting. This was one that would not leave the foot. The sandal is called Teva and it comes with a heel strap. The sandal it is said holds fast even
in the most trying circumstances. The Teva has been selling like hot cakes!
Some of the other mens sandals that have been doing the rounds are: the Terrano Sole, which provides extra cushion comfort especially on rough
terrain while the Colorado Sole provides maximum traction in woodland
conditions.
