It helps to have written half the article. It seems there is a rather muddled disambiguation page that should be cleaned up too, but I know nothing about women's shoes. I expect that [[pump (shoe)]] and [[court shoe]] should be merged, probably the latter into the former, but as these articles mainly interest women, I am not qualified to do that. —[[User:Kan8eDie|Kan8eDie]] ([[User talk:Kan8eDie|talk]]) 03:36, 4 December 2008 (UTC) hi!:) <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/96.255.49.10|96.255.49.10]] ([[User talk:96.255.49.10|talk]]) 22:49, 3 January 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->''' == Question: When did left/right soles became the norm? == A friend told me that until around the 1850th shoes were usually produced using symmetric soles for both feet. According to him, the left/right asymmetric layout we take for granted today only emerged in the 1850th, leveraging on advanced manufacturing techniques of the industrial revolution. Is this a tall tale, or is there some truth in it? [[User:HagenUK|HagenUK]] ([[User talk:HagenUK|talk]]) 16:58, 6 May 2009 (UTC) It would appear that left/right footed shoes predate the use of 'straights', in Europe at least; Roman legionaries were certainly issued with 'footed' shoes (see 'Greece and Rome at War' by Peter Connolly). Medieval shoes were also made as left and rights (see 'Shoes and Pattens: Finds from Medieval Excavations in London' (Medieval Finds from Excavations in London) by Francis Grew & Margrethe de Neergaard). The practice ''seems'' to have fallen out of favour, however, as turn shoes were replaced by thoses with welted soles.

However, they wouldn't do it the way you describe, because that is actually bad for the feet. The shape of the shoe should complement the shape of the foot, not copy it. For example, if you take a mould of the foot standing up on rubber, then the arches of the shoe will be too shallow. The two approaches are either through moulding the insole to the foot, but tweaking it my hand where it tends to flatten out, or, much better, making the whole shoe for the foot by having a last made for you. Last-making is a highly skilled job done manually from drafts of the foot, and wooden last which fits best is quite different in shape to the actual foot all over.— [[User:Kan8eDie|Kan8eDie]] ([[User talk:Kan8eDie|talk]]) 15:25, 7 August 2009 (UTC) == Why is this semi-protected == Why is this article semi-protected? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/67.79.10.114|67.79.10.114]] ([[User talk:67.79.10.114|talk]]) 23:06, 4 November 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> * Check out the protection log for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=protect&page=Shoe --[[Special:Contributions/70.20.220.44|70.20.220.44]] ([[User talk:70.20.220.44|talk]]) 02:42, 16 April 2010 (UTC) == Add Century In Shoes to the external links section == There is a really good resource that is missing for the External Links section.
