Take a clam shell in your hands and point the outer edge down and the hinge up. Point the beaklike umbones near the hinge away from you. The bivalve's left and right valves can now be distinguished! Pic via the Atlas of Ancient Life (192) www.digitalatlasofancientlife.org/learn/mollus...

Shoes are ancient, but HIGH HEELS were waiting for the invention of the stirrup & mounted warfare.
A traditional Persian shoe called a kalash or galesh (گالش) reflects the invention in the 10th century of the high-heeled boot.
The heel 'bracketed' the stirrups, increasing the rider's stability.
