The sole of a Post Medieval leather shoe probably dating to the 16th- 17th century. Only the sole remains. The shoe was fairly straight-sided narrowing to a squared, blunt toe. There is a perforated ridge running around the outer edge of the sole which would have formed the seam by which it was attached to the upper, it has broken extensively around much of the seam. The heel section remains and is rounded. This shoe is very small and it seems likely that it belonged to a child. Similar shoes can be seen on the database, LON-C36893 and KENT-A29265. Measurements: 71.52mm long, 28.0…

An incomplete post medieval leather insole from a shoe dating AD1500-1550. This is an insole from aTudor Cowmouth type shoe, probably for an adult male. The insole has an expanded toe forming "ears" and straight sides tapering equally to the heel so it is impossible to identify whether it is for a right or left foot. Wear also does not provide a clue as it is only lightly worn at the ball of the foot and heel. There are stitchmarks around the edge of the insole. The insole is incomplete as th heal end is missing. Measurements: 172mm long, 42.82mm wide, 1.89mm thick and 38.87g in weight.
