Nice shoes…
Fashioned out of cowhide these shoes were found on a Danish bog body which was dated to c. 355-47 BC. The hair side is turned inwards, providing extra comfort and warmth, while the shoes were fastened with skin straps.

I really enjoy seeing what people wore and how they adorned themselves in the past…which is why on my tours we always try to delve into understanding the people of a place, now and then!
