Another two toggle/latchet shoe/boots similar to the more complete examples found at Luxor, these though are much older finds with no real provenance:
On this one the turn shoe construction and toggle latchets are clearly visible, 19th century find said to be Egypt, man's size:

The second shoe which does not appear to be a turn shoe also appears to have multiple toggles (or these are from another shoe) is much less complete, and appears to be made in a similar way to the "persian" shoes from Elephantine dated to the Archaemenid era. Possibly a childs shoe.
Note: Repairs and alterations to a pair of the Luxor shoes appear to have been carried out using the same external sole to upper lacing technique.

"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
