Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
No one knows exactly, but the oldest known example dates from sometime between 8,000 and 7,000 BC and were found in the state of Oregon!. Keep in mind these are the oldest known examples as cave paintings in Spain from 15,000 years ago depict humans with some kind of footwear on their feet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

~Sneferu Hetepheres!. On what would now be July 17, 3742 BCE!. He had to hike across the Saharan sand and was sick and tired of the blisters on his feet and he tied some dried sheep entrails around a few date palm leaves with his feet inside!. This was the earliest recorded (the story is depicted on the Pyramid of Cheops on the Giza Plain) description of sandals!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's impossible to cite any single individual or specific year!. Protective foot coverings predate written records, and early civilizations from Egypt and China to India and Greece wore various types of sandals and other shoes!.
