Description: | A Post Medieval fragments of a leather shoe (late 18th - 19th century). The fragments include the vamp (front upper), two pieces of the sole, the cupping from the heel (U-shaped piece) and the inner sole. There is an iron rivet still present in the cupping. The shoe probably was a low-cut slip-on shoe possibly with a stacked heel. The heel and the back of the upper are missing as well as the rest of the sole. Based on the size the shoe was probably for a female or a youth.All the fragments are from the same shoe. The inner sole has wear depressions and there is an oval perforation in the centre near the toe end. All the fragments of the outer sole have iron staining.Reference: Goubitz, O., van Driel-Murray, C and Groenman-van Waateringe, W. 2001. Stepping Through Time.
