One of several dozen prehistoric shoes excavated from the Arnold Research Cave in Calloway County, MO dated from 800 to 8,000 years old (among the world’s oldest shoes). This slip-on shoe is woven from a plant fiber called rattlesnake master, which typically breaks down but this cave lost its water source – making it an excellent site for preserving organic materials.
