Sandals
photograph of yucca fiber sandals

The most common sandals found in the Lower Cliff Dwelling were woven from yucca fiber. The sides, toe, and heel were cushioned by folding the loose ends back and tying them down. They look like modern thongs, with a strap around the heel keep them from falling off. Yucca sandals were probably not very comfortable, and people may have gone barefoot a lot.
