Simple but beautiful and comfortable to use, this is the history of leather sandals

 Sandals or sandals are a type of footwear that is open to the toes or heels of the wearer. The base (sol) is connected with a rope or belt that functions as a clamp (hold) on the fingers, instep, or ankle so that the sandals do not slip from the wearer's feet. Sandals that cover the back and toes but open at the heel and ankle are called sandals.

Flip-flops or Japanese sandals are colorful sandals made of rubber or plastic. The "v"-shaped clasp strap connects the front to the back of the sandal. Sandals made of used tires are called sandal bandol (short for ban bodhol or used tires)[1] while sandals that look like shoes are called sandals or mountain sandals.

The base can be made of rubber, plastic, wood, old tires, woven rope, or woven grass. The heel (heels) of women's sandals are generally made higher than the front so that the wearer's posture looks better. Unlike sandals which are only worn by men for casual occasions, women often wear sandals when attending formal occasions. In Western culture, men usually don't wear socks when wearing sandals or slippers.

The history of sandals or what we often know is also very diverse

The origin of the word sandal is sandalion (Greek) which was absorbed into Latin (sandalium), French (sandale), and so on. Sandals originated from the footwear of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. At that time, the sole was made of cork, while the cover was made of leather which was joined to the base by sewing. The toe is left open, and is equipped with a belt or strap so that it does not slip from the wearer's foot. In its development, Catholic priests wore socks with embroidery called sandals.

But in the history of other nations, this is the history of sandals

Anasazi

About 8,000 to 10,000 years ago, on the Americas there were primitive Anasazi tribes. The Anasazi are an Indian tribe that lives on the sides of mountains and high cliffs.

At that time the Anasazi had used sandals made from the fiber of the yucca plant (a type of shrub). This yucca is woven so that it functions as a footwear.

Sumerians

The Sumerians were an ancient nation in the Mesopotamian region, or what is now known as the State of Iraq.

In the year 6000 BC (BC), the footwear craftsmen in Sumer had made sandals made from animal skins.

Egyptians

King Menes in Ancient Egypt who came to power in 3100 BC always brought sandal craftsmen wherever he went.

At that time, sandals were made from natural materials such as animal skins, wood, and fibers from palm plants. Some sandals are made simply and not a few are uniquely made.

Ancient Greek

Sandals in Ancient Greece were made of willow leaves and were worn by actors and philosophers. During this period, Kothumus sandals were also known, namely sandals with thick soles.

Ancient Rome

In the year 100-50 BC, the era of the ancient Roman empire, sandals have been used by gladiators. They wear sandals made of leather. At that time, the color of sandals became a differentiator of status.

Japan

In Japan, sandals have developed from 294 to 1192. Geta is made of wood with a height of up to 5 centimeters, so that when wearing the kimono cloth is not exposed to the ground.

Modern era

In the early 20th century Hollywood celebrities wore leather sandals. And since 1957, Morris Yock from New Zealand has made rubber sandals under the name Jandal.

Now in the modern era, there have also been many sandal craftsmen and also with different materials. There are also many sandals that are produced using animal skin materials. Many kinds of animal skins that can be used. However, we find many, especially in Indonesia, sandal craftsmen using leather from cows or goats and sheep, because they have the right resilience and softness as sandal accessories that prioritize comfort for their users.
