Flavius,<br>
In fact, my group folks are wearing a simplifyed version of those eyelet-boots (I advised them about the anachronism but they didn't care, nasty boys! )<br>
They haven't marched for long with them on but they all say that the boots are comfortable as slippers.<br>
Carol van Driel published a pattern for such boots but I've only seen it in a very reduced size and I'm not fully capable of understanding it!<br>
Anyway, that boots are not much more complicated to make than calligae and have the same structure, included the hobnailed outer sole.<br>
Graham visits asiduously this forum and, if he feels that he can help us, he will tell me!<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
