In my previous post was referring to the second century hence the Antonine shoe, not the first, my bad.... ;-)
The latest date I know of for a Caliga (Robust heavily nailed multistrap sandal) is 80-100 AD from Newstead, though I do not know how reliable the dating is or on what its based..... bear in mind its probably rubbish and may have been very old when discarded.

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
