Saxon & Medieval — Late Medieval; late 14th-early 15th century
Shoe, ankle boot
Adult size right foot shoe with a one-piece sole, vamp and two-piece quarters. The shoe is front fastening with a small iron circular buckle and strap. There is stitching in the inside of the quarters for the missing heel stiffener. The tongue is missing too. There is no evidence for a top band. The strap for the fastening has a bi-furcated end which fits through two slots in the side, where the vamp meets the quarters. One slot is in the vamp and the other is in the quarters.
