3rd-4th c roman shoes (Cuijk campagi images)

[Oisin]

I was wondering about the same question as Virilis.

I'd like to make myself a pair of Late Roman (4th-5th century) shoes, but I'd like something that's a bit heavier, or that at least covers the entire foot and a bit up the leg, roughly the same area as a modern combat boot (perhaps with a lower top, though). Does such a thing exist?

Something worn by someone else at the time would be fine as well . . . a Saxon boot design from the same period would do just as well, if it's more the sort of thing I'm looking for.

A number of pictures on the Fectio site seem to show reinactors wearing something of the sort, that even lace up like modern shoes.
