Port & River — 1725-1765
Shoe, iron shoe patten
Patten. Recovered from the Thames foreshore. A patten was a protective under shoe worn outdoors to lift shoes and ladies' dresses above the mud and grime of early streets. The most common pattens made since the 12th century took the form of a shaped wooden platform with leather or cloth straps to hold the shoes upon it, and a cast-iron ring and uprights beneath.
