Where I look at the caligae of Jurjen I have to say they look very thin at the rea support. When I make them I make the back all in one piece with the rear support 50mm wide, then down the centre from the top I cut out a strip about 10mm wide but tapper it so that it ends 50mm above the shoe sole. Then when it is cross stitched together it gives a shape for the heel, and when all the straps are done up it pulls the shoe in against the ankle and the heel that way it does not rub around (it does need a thin soft backing against the rear of the heel)
