A Golden Gate National Recreation Area beach patrol found it after receiving a call from a beach visitor, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
“What we have is a human foot, with some associated tissue, inside of a shoe,” Mark Powning, an investigator with San Francisco Medical Examiner’s Office told the Chronicle.
It wasn’t clear how or when the foot and shoe got to Ocean Beach, but Powning said it didn’t seem to be the result of anything recent and “probably was rolling around the seabed for awhile.”
The shoe was a Puma brand, size 7 and 1/2, in green and black.
