Your Welcome
Damendorf... this shoe is based on Margerethe Halds book "Primitive shoes" and is around 28cm long though it was likely larger originally, included here because shoes of this general type have also turned up in Roman contexts (See Cuijk)
Dating is 135-335ad, but based on the other finds this probably belongs at the end of this period.
Expanded leather techniques are often used in making Roman Carbatinas, so this may be some indication of Roman influence on Germanic shoe design...
Colour is Vinegar and iron (see previous posts)

Some of those shoes you posted earlier look a lot like the boots we see on mosaics like the Argos Museum Mosaic, by the way.
And did Julius Caesar not offend the senate by showing up wearing red boots that were once the privilege of the roman kings?
