Preliminary Mainz Caliga Pattern

[Neuraleanus]

Actually I have my doubts (caused by and thanks to Marquita Volken generously sharing her knowledge and thoughts) about the pattern being that much distorted, the way the straps are cut makes sense if you are trying to minimize wastage and get more shoes out of one skin. Would take a bit of experimenting though to work it out properly I guess.

Matt Amt has redraw that pattern, though he deleted the toe straps(!):

A long time ago I actually built a pair of caligae to this pattern. They were terrible! I could never get them to fit correctly.
