Leather
early 1800s
This shoe with simple steel buckle belonged to Adam Clarke (c.1760-1832). It is made from fine, hand-sewn leather and the heel is cobbled to the sole with nails.
Clarke was a Wesleyan Methodist theologian and Biblical scholar. He wrote a very comprehensive commentary on the Bible, a task which took 40 years to complete. The commentary remained an important theological resource to Methodists for many years.
