World's Oldest Leather Shoe, from Armenia, c.3500 BCE: this prehistoric shoe dates back to about 5,500 years ago, making it the oldest leather shoe in the world
The shoe was found within a cave in the Vayots Dzor province of Armenia, where it had been preserved beneath a layer of sheep dung for more than five millennia.
From the BBC:
At 5,500 years old, the well preserved cow-hide shoe pre-dates Stonehenge by 400 years and the Pyramids of Giza by 1,000 years.
It was made of a single piece of leather and was shaped to fit the wearer's foot, researchers say.
The shoe contained grass, although the archaeologists are uncertain as to whether this was to keep the foot warm or to maintain the shape of the footwear.
Archaeologists put the shoe's remarkable preservation down to the stable, cool and dry conditions in the cave, and the fact that the floor of the cave was covered by a thick layer of sheep dung. This layer of excrement acted as a solid seal, preserving it over the millennia.
According to researchers, the shoe was deliberately buried in a clay-lined pit located within the cave system, though it's unclear why it was originally buried there. The evidence suggests that the shoe was more than just a ritual object -- an imprint of the wearer's big toe is still visible in the leather, and there is a significant amount of wear along the heel and ball of the foot.
This is the oldest leather shoe that has ever been discovered, but older shoes made of plant fiber have been found at sites in Missouri and Oregon. The oldest shoes ever discovered come from Oregon's Fort Rock Cave, where archaeologists unearthed dozens of sandals dating back to about 10,000 years ago.

Leather Shoe recovered from the wreck of HMS Invincible, before 1758
This leather shoe would have fitted a child aged perhaps 5 or 6. It was common for boys to go to sea in the service, some at a young age. Then they were usually there as servants for the higher-ranking crew, or they literally learnt "the ropes" and were trained to become skilled sailors - the so-called Powder Monkeys.
It is known, however, that women sometimes accompanied their husbands and no doubt children too, but they do not appear in the muster list kept for accounting purposes and it is difficult to trace their presence on board. It is possible that this child was the son or daughter of one of the ship's officers or a soldier travelling through to North America as the shoe is simply too high quality to have belonged to a Powder Monkey.

New random BSD take based on nothing but my own thoughts and selfish desires of making Chuuya a little bit more feral gremlin. This may be a bit long and all over the place.
So, I was thinking about fanart I’ve seen of Tetcho and Chuuya and I think it’d be fucking great if Chuuya was also sort of a menace when it came to mixing food? Like not to the same degree as Tetcho (though they both get worse the more they hang out together) but not only does Chuuya have some weird genetics/lab rat shit going on with him (who knows what may be up with his sense of taste,) he also grew up in a gang of kids on the street. That boy did NOT have a normal diet and I feel like Kyoyous training could only do so much.
Anyway, I think Chuuya also enjoys horrific food combinations, (perhaps partially due to him still having the inclination to eat what he can when he can.) I like the concept that Chuuya’s the kind of person to just mix everything on his plate together into one homogeneous lump and eat it like that. You know those horrible like, 50’s American gelatin creations with the unflavored gelatin and peas and bananas with Mayo on top kinda thing? Genuinely something he would eat and enjoy. Cabbage and peanut butter sandwich? Down the hatch. Eats onions like apples and enjoys tormenting Dazai with it. (Who yeah, okay, his eating habits may not be the BEST but at least he doesn’t put wasabi on Oreos and then dip them in coffee like a fucking psychopathic chibi he knows.)
I don’t think Dazai was completely disgusted by Chuuya’s eating habits though (well okay maybe he was but he found it funny too.) He enjoyed experimenting with different combinations and trying to find where Chuuya drew the line. He used to add random shit to Chuuya’s food when he wasn’t looking, just to see if his partner would notice (usually he didn’t, or maybe he simply didn’t care.)
As Chuuya gets older I think his pallet does become a bit more refined, (or at least he pretends it is when company’s around,) thanks to Kyoyou’s etiquette training and having access to actual recipes and such. But he still eats weird shit I think, and a friendship/relationship with Tetcho I feel would have them making and consuming the most ungodly meals to ever grace the earth. Those absolutely fucked protein shakes some people make? Yeah.
I love them being friends and shit ‘cuz I think they would both amplify each others nasty little bitey gremlin attributes and it would be fucking hilarious. Also boyfriends getting swole together? + the height difference? Hell yeah.
Anyway Chuuya deserves to be more of a gremlin I think. He may know how to act like a sophisticated gentleman at this point, but he’s still a punk ass troublemaker, he just dresses better now. Love him sm <3
(Also mostly unrelated, very not thought out idea, Dazai has gotten Atsushi to eat part of a leather shoe before. I don’t know why but it just feels like something he would do.)
Here’s an example of the 50’s gelatin abominations btw.
#ha this is so long but apparently some people read the chuuya baby teeth one so??? here#more dumb nighttime bungou stray dogs head cannons. at least I think this is a head cannon yeah? I’m never quite sure.#it’s just a dumb “I like thinking about this concept for this character”#Chuuya’s more feral/weird than people tend to make him I think#also I don’t mean for this to feel like I’m just taking one of tetchou’s unique traits and give it to chuuya instead.#I just think they should be food menaces together <3#maybe they could kiss about it too idk#bsd#bungou stray dogs#bsd nakahara chuuya#bsd tetchou#what was the ship name for them?#tecchuu#???#was that it?#bsd dazai osamu#bsd nakajima atsushi#leather shoe#so I can find that idea again lol#oof long tags sorry

The shoe, constructed from leather and featuring remnants of lacing made from flax or linen, is believed to have been crafted around the 2nd century BC. While previous discoveries of leather shoes in the Dürrnberg mines were not uncommon, this child’s shoe is exceptional.
It suggests that children were also present underground, working alongside adult miners during that era.
Researchers estimate that mining crews during the Iron Age consisted of 30 to 60 workers at a time.

Check out this child's leather shoe from the 16th century.
It was found a few years ago, preserved in the mud of the River Thames, UK.
This 500-year-old leather Tudor shoe even has indentations in the sole from the toes and heel of the last person to wear it.
The shoe is remarkably well-preserved in the foreshore due to the anaerobic mud, creating an oxygen-free environment that keeps them preserved as if they were lost just yesterday.
