FLAT SHOES

 Shoes make up a big part of many women's wardrobes. There is something about shoes that just seems to make women crazy. Shoes come in so many styles and options and come in and out of fashion so much that it is hard to keep up with what is in and what is out. Flat shoes seem to always stay in style; it may be the comfort factor, and they make it easier to navigate through the day.

Shoes have been around for a while, specifically flat shoes, there is evidence that points to them being around since twelve hundred BC. The first foot coverings later to become known as shoes were flat shoes in the form of sandals. These were made of soft leather that wrapped around the foot; there was not much indication as to which was right or left. Until around eighteen sixty shoes were made without any curve at all to them to indicate the left from the right, each shoe was made exactly the same. Around nineteen seventeen the first sneakers, those with rubber soles and canvas uppers was manufactured. These rubber soled styles became very popular with men and flew off the shelves.


They go beyond rubber soled canvas topped sneakers. They are made from many materials into many styles. There are flat shoes that are devoted to dress wear, they are well adorned with rhinestones and other baubles to make them stand out and dress up and outfit. There are styles that are plain and functional that are made for everyday wear. There are also styles that are made for wear in the house. House slippers for wear at home come in a huge variety; some are even comical and represent furry animals or cartoon characters. They are still made in sandal form similar to their long ago ancestors, except now you can easily tell the left from the right. There are styles that are dedicated to sporting activities, dancing, beach wear; the list is incredibly long and detailed.
 
Flat shoes are a big seller and can be found anywhere shoes are sold. The prices vary according to the style of the shoe and how much craftsmanship has gone into creating the shoes. Designer brand name also plays a big roll in the cost.
