Possibly the oldest shoes are the Fort Rock sandals discovered in south-central Oregon. About 100 sagebrush bark woven sandals were found underlying volcanic ash from the eruption of Mount Mazama 7,600 years ago (now Crater Lake). The sandals were radio carbon dated between 10,400 to 9,100 years old.
My husband goes barefoot more often than not. I do when in a natural environment, but can't deal with the idea of stepping in gum, or litter, or anything else yucky found in a town or city. We even have our (my husband and I) Christmas tradition of walking barefoot in the snow around the house.
