Help With My First Kit.

They also have the Zwammerdam eyelet boot, but that would be too early for you. However, there are three shoes from Deurne that would probably fit your needs. These are described in Stepping through Time, page 371, and contains enough info for a cutting pattern.

The Deurne shoes are cavalry, and (I have one pair myself) perhaps not so good for an outfit you want to use for years: shoes were much easier to replace back then. The Zwammerdam boot is indeed 3rd c., but late Roman art also shows closed boots like these for a later period.
