Women's clogs. Black leather upper fixed to a wooden sole with metal pins through a brown leather strip. Lace fastening through four pairs of copper alloy eyelets (laces missing) protected by a leather section fastened with a metal buckle at the vamp wing. Steel toe cap, reinforced quarter, slight heel and metal sole rims (heel rims missing). There are inscriptions stating the size of the clogs, '5', on the uppers and the soles. The clogs have never been worn.
This type of clog was worn as protective footwear until around 1916 by workers in the Sainsbury's factory kitchens at Wakefield House where the stone floors were covered in salty water and grease.
