How does Hermes get his winged shoes?

Hermes does not wear winged shoes; he wears winged sandals. He obtains them from either Zeus, who gives them to him as a gift, or from Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths, who forges them for him. The winged sandals allow Hermes to fly and move with great speed, making him a swift messenger and a protector of travelers and merchants.
