Saxon & Medieval — Late Medieval; early 15th century
Shoe, ankle shoe
Adult size right foot shoe with a pointed toe. The sole is missing. The upper comprises a vamp and separate one-piece quarters. The shoe is front fastening with the strap and small circular iron buckle still in situ. The buckle is attached with a leather thong. There are stitch holes in the inside of the quarters for the (now missing) heel stiffener. Part of the rand survives (from the toe area) and has extra, larger stitch holes in it which indicate that the shoe once had a clump (repair) sole.
