Bill,
You might want to contact Al Saguto. He is the Master Cordwainer at Colonial Williamsburg. He is quite knowledgeable about shoes of all periods, makes shoes, and has worked extensively with archaeologists in the analysis of archaeological footwear assemblages.

Subject: Shoes
Do any of you know anyone who specializes in shoes.
I am helping out with the group searching for Amelia Earhart on Nicumororo Island, and they need some good advise about some shoes they excavated.
Best Christmas wishes to you all!
Thanks,
Bill
