Sarhan wears the "Doctor Football" shoes... from cave leather to the grass of the fields.

Thousands of years ago, the earth was not paved, nor were the roads as they are now, so the barefoot pursuit of man was one of the major challenges that needed to be addressed, as any injury to a person's foot could affect a range of activities essential for life.

Therefore, man had to ensure that his feet were not left bare against the cold and snow, stones and thorns, pits and reptiles… So he invented a weapon to protect them from these and other dangers of the earth, which was the shoe in its embryonic form, made of leather stuffed with grass as one was found in a cave in Armenia, or crafted from hemp as one was found in Spain.

From the essence of those ancient shoes, and with the steady march of life towards what it is now, countless varieties descended, so the world is filled with shoes of every type and size, for every path and endeavor, for every task and purpose… Shoes for climbing are different from shoes for war, shoes for nightlife are different from shoes for climbing, work shoes are different from dance shoes, Friday shoes are different from Sunday shoes… And if that were not enough, the shoe industry has advanced to the point that the shoe has come to represent the face in expressing prestige. As for sports shoes, they are a category unto themselves, and football shoes are the symbol of the game, so when a player retires, it is said that he "hung up his shoes."

More than one source confirms that the first sports shoe appeared in the sixteenth century, designed by a royal cobbler specifically for King Henry VIII. The shoe was somewhat heavy and reached the knee, thus being three in one: a shoe, a sock, and a protector, although no one would dare touch a hair on the king, let alone his leg. Surely, His Majesty engaged in more than one sport. However, it is unlikely that football was one of them, not only because of the shape and bulk of the shoe but also because the game was chaotic and without rules.

During the nineteenth century, specifically in the homeland of Henry VIII, the features of football would gradually become clearer, necessitating a particular perspective on it, as what the foot does on the field is completely different from its pursuit outside it. Thus, special shoes for the game would emerge, with their bottoms studded with thin nails, and the leather being resistant to moisture, which would evolve into generations of shoes until they reached what stars wear now.
