Hello and welcome back to the Curious Kid podcast.

This week, we are getting curious about a topic that it's hard to imagine living without.

We use shoes just about every day, and I couldn't even imagine getting through my typical day without shoes.

For how long have shoes been such an important part of our lives?

What were the first shoes like?

Let's learn some crazy facts about shoes, past and present, but first...

Hi Jacob and Olivia. We are Amalia, seven years old, and Dori, five and a half years old, from New York City.

We are originally from Israel, but I've been living in New York for the past five years.

We love your podcasts so much and are proud to have

been supporting it on Patreon. We would love to hear about shoes and shoelaces. We would really

appreciate it if you could make an episode about it. We recently learned to tie our shoelaces

and we also love different kinds of shoes and want to learn more about it.

Yours, Dory and Amalia, from New York City, New York, and also Tel Aviv Israel.

Hi, Jacob and Olivia. My name is Claire, and I am six years old. I live in Orange Park, Florida.

I listen to your podcast on the way to school with my mom and little sister Olivia.

I'm curious about candy bars, the Milky Way, bottles, parks, dolls, seaweed, shoes, and x-ray fish.

My mom is curious about board games and water parks.

We love your podcast and keep up the good work from Claire.

Hi, Jacob and Olivia. My name is Lauren and my brother's name is Evan.
