Dan here's a pic of a Egyptian eared sandal currently in Offenbach leather museum from Thebes 1500 bc , I think this is what is referred to as oil drenched made from many layers of thin leather with very small fine stitching, its probably for a wealthy person its quite smooth on one side, other thin leather uppers of true shoes were also found at Thebes in red and green but this had a more suede look...

"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
