Shoe This sole of a shoe was originally a clog type shoe with a thick heel sole. The top of the shoe and the inner sole were both separated from the bottom sole.

The bottom also was very unstable and falling apart. The side of this plate had 2 "L" shaped grooves for the pins to move on.

Because the bottom wasn't attached, the holes were going to be widened, and shorten the width to fit the shoe better, it was reprinted. The sides of this plate looked a lot like the front with the grooves. Spikes ...
