Description: | A Post Medieval leather child's shoe in-sole and fragment of leather - part of the middle sole (late 17th - 18th century, probably). The two leather fragments may not be from the same shoe. The in-sole has stitching around the entire edge and two stitches on the tread and heel area. These stitches were to fasten the many layers of the leather soles together. Medieval shoes would only have a single layer of leather. The fragment is probably from the heel end of one of the layers of the middle sole. There are no traces of stitch or nail holes on the leather.Identification by Jackie Keily, Curator, Museum of London.Dimensions of insole: length: 97.56mm; width: 30.37mm; thickness: 3.99mm; weight: 3.38g.Dimensions of middle sole fragment: length: 57.99mm; width: 23.18mm; thickness: 1.29mm; weight: 0.96g.
