The book, "Stepping through time" has diagrams of similar shoes.

I don't remember having seen this very pattern anywhere, but it has many elements that I know of from original finds (Roman and Germanic). My first guess would be that it was made up from more than one source. Do you have any carbatina patterns available? If yes, sou could easily adapt that if you want to copy this particular shoe.

I thought as much. Unfortunately, I do not have any patterns. If anyone could provide the patterns that you mentioned, Martin, I would appreciate it.
