How does Hermes get his winged shoes?

Hermes receives his winged shoes, known as "talaria," as a gift from the gods. According to mythology, these magical sandals allow him to fly and move swiftly between the mortal and divine realms. Often associated with his role as the messenger of the gods, the shoes symbolize his speed and agility. In some stories, they are crafted by the skilled god Hephaestus or are fashioned from other divine materials.
