Zack Your welcome :-)
The last one at present comes from Hawara in Egypt, again said to be Ptolemaic or later:

Theres little to tell from this one except a date in the report "Hawara, Biahmu, and Arsinoe (1889)" pg12-13 suggests it may be very much later perhaps as late as the 4th cent ad, if indeed it is the same shoe? of which I have my doubts... it looks like a turnshoe and can be compared with the previous examples shown.....

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
