| Full description: |
A specially-strengthened canvas sole with eight metal points (five at the toe and three at the heel). It is made from two layers of canvas, stitched together at the heel and toe to form an enclosed shoe. There is a leather foot piece inside the sole, with a metal heel plate, central leather panel and metal toe plate on the underside. There are six canvas loops around the upper edge of the sole, through which is passed a length of string for tying the sole tight around the wearer's foot.
