5.) Officer Accompanied by Four Soldiers by Daniel Hopfer (1470-1536)

By this point, you're likely thinking what I did... Wait, these are all by Hopfer. What if he simply didn't like to draw shoes? Then I found...
6.) Three soldiers by Albrecht Altdorfer (1480-1538)

They appear to me like a series of slippers, tho they were likely made of leather, considering they were soldiers. They have what many have termed "duck's bill" toes, which, from what I gather, was the style after the hugely long pointed toed slipper. The duck's bills were rumored to have grown as wide as 12 inches. Hmm SCUBA gear? :D
