Quote:Very nice! Two questions, are stitched in the back? Have insoles? Thanks
Insoles would likely be normal, probably cloth or perhaps felt, I know of several surviving examples.
The backs are normal carbatina construction with stitching forming an inverted T at the back with the vertical seam outside, horizontal seam at the base of the heel at the inside...
Its also possible that these shoes may have a separate sole laced or stitched on.....

"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
