Construction: The original Roman Carbatinae Welzheim Shoes is a stitched and/or nailed shoe. This version has a McKay stitched leather sole and is identical in outward appearance to the tunnel-stitch shoe. The front seam is a period edge-to-edge saddle stitch with the threads out. The Roman Carbatinae Shoe is made of 4 to 5 oz top grain cowhide leather and comes standard with leather soles. It features a Roman edge-to-edge, sewn-grain-side-out seam up the front or vamp of the shoe and has an integral classic thong-laced fasting. The upper and thong are cut in one piece. Known examples and representations lead me to believe the shoe was worn by both men and women. Due to the representations and low cut, this shoe would be worn with stockings, but it will work with bare feet as well.
