The first shoe still contained its heel area after being
buried for around 2,000 years.

(FOX NEWS) – Volunteers were baffled recently when they
unearthed not one but two ancient shoes at a historic British
site.

The discoveries were made at Magna, an Ancient Roman fort
in Northumberland, in late May. The Roman Army Museum,
located near the fort in Brampton, made the announcement.

Photographs show volunteers holding the remarkably preserved
leather shoes, which have maintained their form despite being
buried for 2,000 years.

The second shoe surprised onlookers with its size, which is roughly equal to a U.S. men’s size 14.
