Dear Derek<br>
<br>
Sorry no photographs of the boots available. However details about them appear in Vindolanda III The Early Wooden Forts Carol Van Driel-Murray et al .1993 .Roman Army Museum Publications.<br>
<br>
The Guard Boots were based on the type classed as "Fell Boots". Amongst the earliest successors to the classic Caligae.<br>
<br>
Other details will appear in my forthcoming book.<br>
<br>
Best wishes<br>
<br>
