Original Note:
These are not real images of Tutankhamun's footwear. Considering that footwear is one of the resources for research on ancient Egypt, replicas of Egyptian footwear abound and are often passed off as original archaeological items, which distorts some research on antiquity. https://www.academia.edu/13191917/Review_of_Andr%C3%A9_J_Veldmeijer_Tutankhamuns_Footwear_JSSEA_38 https://www.academia.edu/9844568/Footwear_in_Ancient_Egypt_The_Medelhavsmuseet_Collection
