Sole Sunday! • Sole 101: The first shoes were made out of natural materials, so the outsoles were very thin. American Indians made soft-soled moccasins out of animal hides. During the Middle Ages shoes began to feature soles with hardier materials such as leather and jute, a tough fiber made from plant stems. Shoemaking continued to evolve. In the 1600s shoe soles were almost always made out of leather, which is still the standard in fine leather dress shoes to this day.

Initially, they were shoes for the rich, because not everyone could afford leather shoes just for driving. Driving shoes purpose was to replace traditional shoes while driving. Since wealthy gentlemen did not want to wear out the soles of their shoes and normal shoes seemed to be cumbersome for driving. The Cars Shoe brand soon became known for its signature moccasin with rubber pebbles style. Diego Della Valle, founder of another famous Italian brand, @tods saw an opportunity to sell soft, comfortable shoes to the masses. Instantly, the shoes were a huge success. From that point on, driving shoes have become a fashionable item designed by many shoes makers such as @gidisole and is not available to everyone. Credit: Modern Gentleman Magazine

Sometimes called Saddle Oxfords, they began to appear in the early twentieth century as leisure shoes. Saddles date from the early 1900’s and were originally white soled shoes with black and white uppers. 
By the 1920s, Saddles were regularly worn to play sports such as tennis, hockey, fencing and badminton. Later, the shoes doubled as acceptable dress shoes and became part of school uniforms. The Jazz Age encouraged greater acceptance of black musicians and fans of jazz supported racial harmony by wearing two-tone footwear. By the fifties, the Ivy Leaguers wore Norwegian Loafers but adolescent teenagers continued to wear Saddle shoes especially when the style was seen in pictures of teen idols such as Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Marilyn Monroe. Saddle shoes continued through the latter part of the 20th century and is one of our best sellers @gidisole. • Credit: Footalk Blogspot
