Have you ever wondered what the very first pair of shoes looked
like? Spoiler alert: they weren't sneakers! Join Mira and Finn on
an amazing journey through the history of shoes, starting with
10,000-year-old sandals made completely out of woven tree bark!
We'll discover how ancient people survived freezing weather with
boots stuffed full of grass, and how the Roman army basically
invented the very first soccer cleats! Did you know that in the
Middle Ages, some people wore shoes with toes so long—up to 24
inches!—that they had to tie them to their knees with gold chains
just to walk? Or that high heels were actually invented for
soldiers riding horses? From the smelly, poop-covered secret that
preserved the world's oldest leather shoe to the invention of
bouncy rubber sneakers, footwear history is full of wild surprises!
We even blast off into space to find out why there are human shoes
sitting on the moon right now! Tie up your laces and jump into this
super fun, fact-filled episode!
