A very stylish #Roman enclosed boot with a highly decorative and intricate cut-out design that would have shown off the wearer’s socks.
Found in London, dating c. 75-125 AD.

A well-preserved Roman leather shoe displayed in a museum setting. The shoe features an intricate lattice-like pattern with small, repeated triangular cutouts across the upper section. The toe is rounded and the sole appears worn and cracked with age. The top has a series of slits likely used for lacing. The leather is darkened from time and exposure, giving it a textured, weathered appearance.
