Légende
A leather shoe, late 14th century; and a model of a foot. The large hole in the shoe was caused by wear from a bunion, swelling of the joint associated with displacement of the big toe, as shown on the model of the foot. This condition is worsened by narrow, pointed or badly fitting footwear; such pointed shoes were very fashionable at this time.
