History Of Athletic Shoes brought to you by Schuler Shoes and New Balance Twin Cities Every morning when I wake my sons for school, I put their socks on and give their feet a quick massage.

For example, applying pressure to points on the foot that map to the head, can relieve a headache. Taking care of your feet and wearing comfortable shoes is important. It's also important to wear shoes made for particular activities. Comfort shoes for men and women history is interesting. Today's shoe technology has really evolved since the first pairs of shoes were worn back in 8000 B.C. Shoes are made for all different purposes, such as basketball, hiking, walking, running, and soccer. Basketball shoes are made for improving jumps and quick moving. Soccer shoes are made with spikes to dig into the dirt. Running shoes are made for maintaining good foot support. Some shoes are even made to mimic the shape of a bare foot. In 1917, the first Converse All-Stars were released and marketed towards basketball players. They have evolved into casual wear and have been worn by everyone from 50's & 60's greasers to 90's grunge rockers. In 1976, air cushions were added to running shoes.
