The leather shoe was discovered in excellent condition in the Arene-1 cave in Armenia, a single leather shoe individual. It was stuffed with straw. Scientists are still unsure whether to keep the foot dry and warm, or to keep the shape of the shoe after. Take it off.
The year 1991 is also important in the history of shoes. On the Austrian-Italian border, archaeologists were able to discover a mummified man, dating back to the Stone Age named "Oitzi", who died 3300 years ago, where he died wearing his shoes made of suede, and a sole made of bear leather It is also stuffed with straw, and scientists believe this shoe is a perfect example of the technique of shoe production in that era.
The technique of shoes in that era depends on reducing the number of stitches as much as possible, the less the number of stitches and pieces sewn together, the greater the chance of keeping the foot warm and dry, and they were curling the skin, with an attempt to avoid sewing as much as possible, where the stitches look as simple and non Totally safe, given the primitive tools that were then used.
