So apparently moss was the first moldable insole. I couldn't find any information with a cursory googling on when this practice first came into being. Does anyone here have any information?
- cronix 8y agoFound this: > Interestingly, the shoes did not even have padding or support. It's true that they protected the feet, but this was accomplished mainly by keeping them covered up. The construction of the shoe did not include the materials typically found in modern footwear. Despite this, men were able to add their own details to the shoe to make them more protective. For example, the lining of the boots would often be made with moss and wool, which were added by the wearer himself. https://shoes.lovetoknow.com/Mens_Renaissance_Boots https://shoes.lovetoknow.com/Mens_Renaissance_Boots
