Well, these are mine but they were intended for cavalrymen and/or officers, not for infantrymen.
Shoes for infantrymen where probably studded ones in their majority. I recall some fragmentary ones recovered at Coppergate, York. As far as our knowledge reaches, the kind of shoes in fashion during 4th/5th century were low ones, not boots, like those in vogue until the end of 3rd century (always AD). I have been unable to convince people in my group to be so accurate :evil: and they are wearing 3rd century hobnailed eyelet boots...

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
