Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Those shoes look darn comfy
Looks like they're basically moccasins. Comfy in the right context but basically no support. They would need replaced frequently too...often enough that I wouldn't be surprised if common people did repairs themselves.
Carbatinae were indeed quick to wear out!
The rest of the outfit not so much
