Greek footwear

Do you have any leatherworking skills? Sandalia like those are not that hard to make, and do not take many tools.

Thanks for that link! I guess it cannot be any more difficult than medieval turn shoes! LOL Those are ghastly.

Actually, one of the earliest forms of 'advertising' found was a remnant of a greek prostitute's shoe (please don't ask me how they knew it actually did belong to a prostitute...I just read this in a book and it was short of some of the interesting detail).... it had the words 'follow me' in studs on the sole.

Oh - 6th Cbce by the way.

That is an interesting Tidbit!

Hi Jason. None of them is really accurate,but since no one makes accurate greek sandals,46 would be ok,and better with some easy modifications. My personal taste,but I'd prefer them in their ligh brown colour.

I also think the brown looks better. The bottom-most part, they say, is rubber, while the upper sole is leather. So I guess I could remove the rubber portion (and thus the heel) and glue on one more leather portion.

But I think I will get a leather remnants bag and just try to make a pair first real quick. I found a couple of statues with good sandal detail (like 46) so Ill try that.

thanks everyone!!!
