"The shoes originally consisted of an oval leather sole with turned-up edges held in place with a leather thong. A net woven out of grass was attached to this on the inside to hold in place the hay that was stuffed inside as protection against the cold. The shoe was closed with leather uppers attached to the sole by a plain-stitched leather thong. Whereas the sole of the shoe is made of brown bear skin, the uppers are made of deerskin. The uppers were closed using "shoe-laces". The Iceman's shoes are the oldest ever to be found and are very practical and well designed." Hämtat från South Tyrole Museum...
