Quote:Very cute :-) Looks a lot like the pattern from the London find I did (cf. http://sutor.jimdo.com/shoes/roman-shoes...d-cent-ad/) - is it based on that one?
May I ask what you based the strap arrangement on, Ivor?
Martin, I would guess your strap arrangement was from a Sculpture?
The Solea is from Angel Court LAMAS vol28 slightly reduced its a bit different but their all very similar, the straps are from again a similar complete childs shoe from Leeds the same arrangement turns up in Dura again a similar childs shoe, both found online... sole is one thickness with slots split for the straps which are then laced /\\/\\ through the thickness of the leather.
The original Trial piece based on St Magnus House original size this time with a foot in it..... the sock is very well done but isnt my work... :wink:

"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
