A 9 year old leather shoe has been excavated in a cave in Armenia. It is the oldest in the world, according to a research report published on the first online library of science and technology published by the first public science library on the day of the online research paper database of the United States of America.

Leather shoes are stuffed with grass.

It is reported that this leather shoe was found in a cave in Armenia, and scientists used radioactive carbon to determine its "age".

The earliest leather shoes were shoes worn by ice man Ozzy, who were discovered in the Alps a few years ago, are now kept in Italy.

Ozzy lived about 5128 to 5375 years ago, slightly later than the shoes he found this year.

Pinesi said, this shoe can give people a chance to see the ancient society and ancient people's daily activities, clothing and so on.

Going abroad for processing

This leather shoe is not large in size. According to the present standard, it is about the size of European No. 37 shoes.

The back of the leather shoes is drilled with 4 groups of small holes, one belt is passed through the small hole, and the shoe is closed.

There are 15 groups of holes in the front of leather shoes, and shoelaces fasten them through these small holes.

Leather shoes and soles are not reinforced with only one layer of soft leather.

Ping Nei Xi said that the cave environment of the leather shoes was dry and cool, which made the shoes well preserved and leather was very soft when unearthed.

But after touching the air, leather shoes begin to harden.

The leather shoes will be sent to Switzerland or Germany for processing and then sent back to Armenia.
