Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete, worn sole or insole from a Post Medieval leather shoe. Only the front and middle of the sole/insole survives with the heel end completely missing. The sole is from left shoe due to the shape. Along the entire edge are small stitch holes from which the piece would be attached to the upper and the welt. The sole has been mishaped in deposition and is bent. The show would have been made using a welt construction which was introduced in AD 1500. The shape and manufacture suggest a Post Medieval to Early Modern date.

Some of the leather thread used for stitching is still in place, keeping the what remains of the insole, upper and welt in place. There is a small hole and iron staining on the heel of the insole suggesting the attachment of a heel. Welt construction was…
