Shoes and Pattens
94 Toggle-fastened shoe (miel 14th-century). This is still based on a single main piece, but there is an additional component (‘ąuarter’) extending from the back of the heel to the side of the foot. The vertical seam at the heel is an edge/flesh butt seam, further strengthened by the oversewing of a heel-stiffener. The edges have been sewn with a binding-stitch and the topband, which would have been attached to them, survives in fuli (only a smali section illustrated) A long triangular tongue, which would have been sewn along the fuli length of the vamp throat (cf.
Fig. 91) is missing. Notę the repair piece for the sole and the widely-spaced tunnel-stitches. Scalę 1:3.
