If you happen to be doing second century AD or later, you have a big advantage because regular caligae were pretty much gone by then. There are many other styles of shoe from which to choose, many of which are more enclosed or even completely enclosed. Should be easy to stick modern inserts in those. For such a need, I wouldn't even object to shoes other than caligae being worn with a first-century impression.<br>
<br>
As for dealing with other problems related to age, many of us simply put up with hurting on Monday. Some don't even make it through Sunday. Gads, we could use a few more younger guys in the ranks! Personally, I've been pretty lucky so far, nothing more than irritating little pains and such. And being hyper helps me get through the weekend! But my troops are under strict orders NOT to have heart attacks at events!<br>
