Through history, shoes have played an important part. Not only do they protect your feet, they are used for many cultural ceremonies. By looking at shoes, we are able to see the mysteries of the past.
Take the chestnut crushing clog, it served as a tools for anyone who cooks. We assume that the person who wore those shoes was a peasant who worked for a chef. While it is obvious that the person crushed chestnuts, but helped with other tedious tasks. We can assume that these task were things like gather food, and herbs, and possibly even cleaning chores around the house.
