Valkenburg/Castleford style caliga step by step

[Neuraleanus]

I cannot attest to the historicity of this way to close the back seam at the heel, as to my knowledge unfortunately none of the researchers so far bothered to explain or show/draw this in detail even though it is a crucial point in construction IMHO. I have written Carol van Driel-Murray on this matter and am waiting and hoping for an answer at the moment.)

I simply left the heel to back area open. I haven't seen any information to attest to which is more correct, an open or closed heel. None of the cutting patterns that I've seen show stitch holes about the heel.
