I As in the 12th century the most common style pis the Iow boot or ankle-shoe fastened with a drawstring wound once or twice around the leg, • rmally just below the ankle (Tables 1-2; Figs. ■t—23). Impressions and the size of the slots show ttat the string was often ąuite broad, measuring fc to c.5 mm across. The 13th-century examples ■rod to rise much higher up the leg than their 12th-j Century predecessors and to be roomier and morę rounded at the toe, but again their appearance afcmost exclusively in the smaller sizes reinforces impression that this was a style favoured ■•-iinly by women and children. On the other hand, Ifbe fuli boots and side-laced shoes (described Ikelow) almost all seem to have been wom by men.
