Your Welcome.
So now the Art evidence:
This pic is taken from "Die Fussbekleidung der Alten Mesopotamier" by Armas Salonen 1969, which is quite probarbly the only significant work dealing exclusively with the subject at least that I'm able to find, it mostly deals with ancient texts and art you wont find much in the way of actual leatherwork in this book, largely because such leatherwork is very rare (I'm being conservative here) from Mesopotamia. However it does contain much usefull information particularly when combined with the large number of Egyptian finds published by André J. Veldmeijer et al in recent years, which is likely to expand on the amount of knowledge of the subject enormously as some of the more ancient Egyptian shoes are very similar indeed.
However this thread is about Persian shoes specifically and the pic in question is a basic interpretation of shoes from various images of "Immortals" or "Warriors" of the Achaemenid Empire.
A detailed pic of Shoes from Persepolis:

"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
