The article discusses a unique collection of late medieval one-piece footwear uncovered during the archaeological investigation of the Pułtusk stronghold (Masovian Voivodeship, Poland) in the 1980s. Owing to waterlogged conditions, numerous remains of organic materials were preserved. Among these, a collection of 11 one-piece shoes was identified, dated to the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the 14th century AD. Three types of cutting patterns are distinguished, based on the number and position of seams. This type of footwear has no analogies of similar date within the territory of present-day Poland and is rarely found in Western Europe, while it is more common in Eastern Europe. The unusual form of the footwear may suggest the origin of some inhabitants of this proto-urban site
