SLIPPERS

Feeling good is one of life's simple pleasures. Sleeping on pillows, lying on soft mattresses, wearing warm slippers, all these little luxuries have become part of our daily lives , as important as today.

The slipper is the oldest shoe model in history, and its history dates back to time immemorial. The oldest surviving shoe found in Fort Rock Cave, Oregon (1938) is a slipper, said to have been worn 10,000 years ago. This particular slipper was made of woven fabric with pleated pockets to protect the wearer's toes, and since it had no structure, it was secured to the foot with a woven rope strap.For comfort they used rabbit fur and pine needles.

Babylonians (1696–1654 BC) preferred perfumed sandals made of fine goat skin dyed red. Shoes were also decorated with trinkets and bling:

A Persian (600 BC) wore an exotic wooden platform with a toe separator between the first toe and his second toe, his sandals (paduka ) was worn.

The term babouche comes from the Arabic word babouche, coined during the CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION. Described as a flat slipper-like style with an exaggerated toe, these slippers are believed to have been worn by the Arab desert nomads from the earliest times. Gilded Babouche slippers were found in 2nd-century Coptic tombs. To this day, the traditional babush is made and worn in Morocco.

Indus Valley civilization (c. 3000 B.C.) mojari, a closed, flat-soled shoe with a narrow, frilled toe and no left-right distinction .

The era of Louis XV. Slippers were mainly used by attendants so as not to disturb their masters with incoming and outgoing noise.

At the end of the 18th century, it was women who began wearing slippers without shoes as slippers. The Albert slipper features an elongated vamp (upper), quilted lining, and leather sole. This design staple, combined with the , later became synonymous with Hollywood greats. It is now renamed to "Smoking Shoes".

Uwakubuki Slippers - this one place where slippers aren't a thing of the past is Japan. In Japan, it remains a social obligation to take off your outdoor shoes when you arrive indoors (home, hotel, school, etc.) and change into the slippers that are usually provided. People are expected to leave their shoes outside the door as a sign of respect.

A body exhumed in 2008 caught the public's attention. The fact that while she was curled up with her child, she was buried in slippers. This suggests that the slipper dates back to 200 AD.

So it's clear that the slipper, or at least the idea of the slipper, has been around longer than we might have imagined. However, it remains completely unknown who actually invented the first slipper. A quick search online reveals that it was Alvin Slipper who invented the slipper. Because he was simply sick of his feet being cold. Some say that Florence Melton accidentally invented the slipper in the 1940s.While researching materials to improve WWII crew helmets, Melton discovered the perfect material for slippers. discovered

form. The softness of the material and its washability made it the perfect slipper for soldiers. In fact, as Melton himself said in his 2001, "I was always thinking about meeting a need." Melton's discovery was the first washable foam sole that still exists today with his slippers. It led to the invention of his Dearfoams brand.

Worn by female servants of wealthy sultans, because the loose fit and soft sole were a means of preventing easy escapes on rocky terrain outdoors.

My object

My point of view

I have observed that it gives your feet comfort and make them fashionable. From woven ropes to wood, leather, plastics, rubber and flexible materials, the evolution of materials has been amazing.

I have seen that the gap between the first toe and the other toe is often affected or injured.So I have sketched a product in which the insole is a fur material. The slipper sole and midsole are very durable. The most interesting part is the spikes that appear on the sole when you achieve a slippery surface. Spikes are made of rubber.
