In Greek, the names referred to particular styles of women's sandals rather than being the general word for the category of footwear. Similarly, in Latin, the name was also used for slippers, the more common term for Roman sandals being solea, whence English sole. The English words sand and sandalwood are both false cognates.
A soccus (pl. socci) or sýkkhos (Ancient Greek: σύκχος, pl. sýkkhoi), sometimes given in translation as a slipper, was a loosely fitting slip-on shoe [2] in Ancient Greece and Rome with a leather sole and separate leather, bound without the use of hobnails. The word appears to originate from the languages of ancient Anatolia.
The earliest known shoes are sagebrush bark sandals dating from approximately 7000 or 8000 BC, found in the Fort Rock Cave in the US state of Oregon in 1938. [5] The world's oldest leather shoe, made from a single piece of cowhide laced with a leather cord along seams at the front and back, was found in the Areni-1 cave complex in Armenia in 2008 and is believed to date to 3500 BC.
The Nike Fixing her Sandal (Ancient Greek: Νίκη Σανδαλίζουσα, romanized: Níkē Sandalízousa), also known as Nike Taking off her Sandal or Nike Sandalbinder, [2] is an ancient marble relief depicting Nike, the ancient Greek goddess of victory, in the process of fixing or removing the sandal of her right foot. [3]
These elegant sandals have a 2.75-inch sturdy, braided jute wedge heel and an anti-slip rubber outsole, allowing those with wide feet to “walk comfortably with great stability,” she says.
A 19th-century engraving of talaria. The Talaria of Mercury (Latin: tālāria) or The Winged Sandals of Hermes (Ancient Greek: πτηνοπέδῑλος, ptēnopédilos or πτερόεντα πέδιλα, pteróenta pédila) are winged sandals, a symbol of the Greek messenger god Hermes (Roman equivalent Mercury).
