Is this the "shoes built without a last"?
Also you'd be executed for wearing those.
Multipart shoes are generally made on lasts.. and these are no exception....
Not sure why you'd be executed(some obscure law no doubt?) for wearing turn shoes there are several early examples eg commanchio ship wreck... although its likely that many were worn with overshoes of one kind or another includimg apparantly Caliga... these however are later and relatively common at least in the construction.....

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
