Figure 1.-- The soles of sandals we noted were done in one piece crepe rubber, not leather. The tops were leather, bit not the soles. We are not sure just when the crepe rubber soles first replaced leather. There we several different styles for the sole.

Early sandals had leather soles like shoes, but we think not as heavy. Both the tops and soles were leather. The soles of sandals we noted were done in one piece crepe rubber, not leather. The tops were leather, bit not the soles. We are not sure just when the crepe rubber soles first replaced leather. There we several different styles for the sole. Some had animal paws, but this went out of styles before we began to visit the schools. The soles we noted had more basic geometric patterns designed to privide a degree of traction. There were also soles done in a seies of ridges.
