Archaeologists have discovered what they say is the world’s oldest leather shoe. Preserved under layers of sheep dung in a cave in Armenia, the shoe is thought to be about 5,500 years old. It's believed that the wearer was most likely a woman with a size 7 foot. While it's not exactly Jimmy Choo material, scientists believed the shoes were expensive for their time, especially since they were made with real leather and tanned with oil from a plant or vegetable.
