Dark brown or black leather shoe, likely a sandal, with a thick sole and straps. The straps are laced through two holes on either side of the shoe and are tied on the outside. The shoe appears to be old and worn, with a rough texture. It is positioned on a white foam-like material, possibly packing material. The shoe is oriented with the toe pointing downwards.
