Saxon & Medieval — Late Medieval; late 13th-mid 14th century
Shoe
Part of a child's left foot shoe with a pointed toe and front toggle fastening. The upper is largely in one-piece with a flap with two slots and another with one slot. There is also a hole on the centre top of the vamp for the central toggle which is now missing. There is no sign of where the other toggles were attached but this was probably to a separate insert which is now missing. The top band is also missing, but part of the rand survives. The heel stiffener is still in situ. The upper is joined by a side seam on the instep.
