Strange but unique shoes

Despite that in the ancient civilizations were used mostly the sandals,they also used to wear other shoes. In ancient Greece usually the people used to go barefooted or with sandals but sometimes at home they used to wear softqclosed shoes which through the Elenistic period the luxurious shoes were -white or red coloured. During the Middle Ages like a rule the shoes were simple-from the beginning they used to be made from not basil leather but later they have started to button them uo with clasp or cord around the ankles. In 18 century they started to decorate the shoes with golden or silver clasps and rocks. Today the disaigners are using more their fantasy and make from every shoes art. Alexander Mcqueen shoes with butterfly elements are real challenge for the models who are walking with them. Louis Vuitton shoes are showing us animal elements and especially giraffes. The colourful balerine shoes of Christian Dior with satin straps are really amazing. Kenzo represents big platform shoes in different colours like the one the geishas used to wear and instead of straps he put something like pillows on the feet.
