Thank you gentlemen! Ha! I'm now convinced I own a terrible pair of sandals -- good thing they were a gift and I didn't have to pay for 'em. And I suppose you can't really make a comparison between a modern shoe and something the ancients wore (none of this factory-made crap)! The ancients got it right!
Jim, to me that is really interesting! At what era were these letters and where were they found?
Quote: Also look at the thread by Martin Moser on how thin the straps were.The king of leather-crafting himself! I wouldn't mind trying to make a pair. I’ll definitely do a search for that thread.
Quote: There are also letters home asking for pairs to be sent.
