People of the olden days seldom had feet problems. This may be due to the
fact thattheir shoes were more comfortable. They were made from animal skin which
did notharm the feet. Foot sores became more/very common with the discovery of
woodenand cloth shoes. No account was taken of the anatomy of the right or left foot
in the making of wooden shoes. They were made clumsily or hastily. Because of this,
shoes caused more harm than good. Friction between the feet and the inner lining of
the shoes created painful corns and bunions which sometimes resulted in deformed
feet.
