Thanks!
I thinks its 1st century AD/Early Imperial (Capitoline Museum) but is a copy of an earlier form of shoe which dates back at least to Hellenistic, there a fair amount of variety in this type (shoes to boots) which seems to have no surviving archaeological examples..... pretty widespread occurs in art, reliefs and sculpture..

"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
