Some new shoes hot of the press:
Melrose Type Carbatina based on a find from Vindolanda, likely Hadrianic/Antonine.
This one was made without a pattern and basically by shaping a piece of leather round a suitable last, marking out with a thumbnail and cutting in an appropriate fashion.
Melrose Type Calcei from Housteads Hadrianic/Antonine.
Flavian Boot from the Cancelleria relief similar to Castleford.
The stitched toe could be laced instead forming continuous lacing too the ankle with the tabs/latchets going almost to the toe.
Two fellboots Vindolanda 90s AD.

"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
