Leather question : moccasin
#4
Indeed, 'moccasin' not a type of leather, it's the general name for the soft leather, slipper-like footwear worn by native North Americans.

I've seen a number of Roman shoes, but none resembles the moccasin- they all have closures on top in the form of lacing loops. Here are a few examples: [url:3cxix7gl]http://www.curlesnewstead.org.uk/platexx.htm[/url]
