This crude wooden and leather shoe was handmade by a slave and probably intended for slave use. The sole is hand carved and curved and is attached by the upper section by way of a leather strap that has been nailed over the seam. Although crude in appearance, the shoe was well-made and saved scarce resources such as leather. However, compared to a shoe today it would feel very awkward and uncomfortable.
