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

[Oisin]

Considering what they're replacing, and that I'd be using them for bad weather combat and not shows, I'm not that strict in the way you'd look at it. I'd really like to be as close as possible, but the final choices are going to be governed by utility not accuracy, and fighting for hours with wet feet just isn't acceptable.

The problem is that I've never made shoes before, so I don't know how to just go about designing a pair from a frescoe or some such.
