Mind pointing me the source? I'd be curious to check them out. All the footwear I've seen on Arsaco-Sassanian artwork are either simple mocs or moc-boots with a triangle at the top. Similar to the finds from Chehr-Abad.
Hello, daryush
Offhand, I don't have the illustration, but it was earlier than Sassanian. The Celtic pic was in either Megaw & Megaw or in Cunliff. At the time of my impression, which I consider Eastern influenced, the Chinese were wearing similar boots or shoes. Of course, the Mongolians are still making them... for BIG bucks. :roll:
