A small part of the vamp going into the heal and ankle remains.. Each section of leather has slit decoraiton cut into its surface in the clasic style of tudor shoes seen on those from the Mary Rose, one side has four such slits and the other has three. These pieces have been folded together and this is the only reason the pieces have been held together.
