Hi Conal,
not sure what you mean, but he is wearing some sort of "shoeupper" (for lack of a better word and without a sole as it seems). Not that uncommon I think, Junkelmann also mentions that and has some pics of a reconstructed similar item in his book Das Spiel mit dem Tod.
The one in the picture is a little different though and looks as though it were decorated more
Cheers,
Martin
