A tentative reconstruction from Dura Europos, the date is very broad so could be Hellenistic to Roman with local influences... my feeling is its a turnshoe equivalent of a roman 3rd cent calcei but am not certain its correct as its based on a sketch... However comparble shoes exist at Dura from this date.
upper is goatskin 2-2.5mm , sole cowhide 3-3.5mm.

"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
