Could just have easily been a smaller ladies shoe, no?

As is typical with children’s shoes, they’ve looked all over and they still can’t find the other one.

The family dog took it and buried it.

Dang...iron shoes? I'm betting the kid wasn't quick on the soccer field.

Found near a salt mine. Would salt act as a preservative?

True, but once he was near the ball, he could kick a goal from the far end of the field.
BTW, soccer sucks, so the little jerk deserved iron shoes.

All seriousness aside, the pictured shoe is as modern a style as any you would see in today’s shoe stores. Quite neat.

Definitely, although it's weird no one ever digs up ancient salt shakers...

This is just south of Salzburg, known for its salt mines, and is a really neat tour. The salt and other mines go back to almost pre-history.
Because salt decays many metals, most mining material used wood and leather, with only metal tools. The shifts of miners would work underground most of the day, and used wooden rails to slide down to lower floors. Today they pump water down, which forms brine, then pump out the brine. For tourists, the huge underground brine lake has a flat bottomed wooden boat with no metal, that is pulled by rope.

This confirms the scientific theory that children of the Iron Age had feet...
