There are probably other variations of 3 but its difficult to tell.....these were the ones that were clear enough to see some details, most if not all seem to be very close on the foot as the arches are quite clearly shown and some may have had more pointed toes...
I would be inclined to reinforce the edges of the quater and just continue the top one as the strap, with the eyelet types add a suitable reinforcement to the inside it should be enough...
The Alexander shoe looks identical just very eroded details, but separate vamp, quarter, tongue and single knotted lace the end hanging down the side forms a very faint line just forward of the faint edge of the quarter.....

"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
