Modern footwear is usually made of [[leather]] or [[plastic]], and [[rubber]]. In fact, leather was one of the original materials used for the first versions of a shoe.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://all-that-is-interesting.com/fascinating-history-footwear|title=The Fascinating History Of Footwear|date=2013-04-23|newspaper=All That Is Interesting|language=en-US|access-date=2016-10-24}}</ref>  The soles can be made of rubber or plastic, sometimes with the addition of a sheet of metal on the inside.
