Hi Martin
I suppose I better bring this post back on topic after the discussions on Magivs's flying tunica.
The shoes will be based on this example from the Newstead finds. The craftsman who is making the pugio and the Newstead Gladius for me is also making the boots.
He brought the unfinished pair along to the Corbridge event for me to check for fit. They look to me to be a good interpretation of the original but I forgot to photograph them at the time.
