Miners dug and kneeled in dirt and gravel. Levi Strauss had sturdy work pants made out of canvas. Shoes were once made entirely by hand. Jan Matzeliger's invention allowed shoes to be made entirely by machine.   Shoes cost a lot of money. Miners' pants didn't last very long. Shoes became cheaper to buy.   These pants lasted longer than ordinary pants.
