goodbye/fun facts....During World War II, many items were rationed in the United States, including shoes.

Also, the military had a high need for leather, not just for shoes and combat boots, but for those popular leather flight jackets. As a result, civilians made do with less. Starting September 30, 1942, men’s rubber boots and rubber work shoes were placed under rationing. To obtain a new pair, a man had to apply to the local ration board, prove he needed the shoes for essential industry—not for sport—and turn in the old pair. Galoshes and overshoes were not rationed because they used less crude rubber, and sneakers were no longer produced. the ration ban was finally lifted in october of 1945 and people could own as many shoes as they wanted
