Description:
Quilted shoe. The shoe is made of two or three layers of cloth which were sewn together with an imbricated scale pattern. Sole and uppers were made in one piece with a join down the centre of the toes which was oversewn and then covered with a band of silk. A lapped joint sewn with leather thongs can be seen at the back of the heel. The opening of the shoe is strongly overcast and bound with corded blue silk. The remains of leather-sewing suggests an outer leather sole or patch.
