The Most Maneuverable Vacuum In the World

On July 5, 1858, the first shoe manufacturing machine was patented in Massachusetts. Come along with Tidbits as we wear shoes! IN THE BEGINNING • A slipshoe was an old word for a slipper, comfortable footwear for use in the home. People who wore these informal slippers in public places instead of the regular shoes were said to be "slipshod." Now it means anything done in a careless fashion. • When horses are "rough-shod" they have shoes on which have the ends of the nails sticking out. This gives the horse more traction, but it tears up the ground the animal travels over. When someone "rides rough-shod" over another person, they are trampling the ground beneath them without caring. • Wooden shoes called "sabots" were popular in days gone by because they were cheaper than leather shoes. They gave us our word "sabotage." One story is that when workers went on strike, they would throw their "sabots" into the factory's machinery, ruining the gears in an act of "sabotage." Another more likely story is that because walking in wooden shoes is clunky and clumsy, and people wearing them tended to be bungling, therefore anything that was deliberately bungled up was "sabotaged."
