Quote:[quote]Have you any archaeological evidence for boots found in Europe in the relevant periodes with a doubled or multi-layerd soles like we know from roman finds? The boots with soft soles from Achmim-Panopolis, dating to 6th and 7th century, also have upturned toes so what is the argument behind that?
kind regards
Hello, Dain II
Since this is the Sarmatian "Channel," I seldom study European footwear, but non-Mediterranean styles could point to similarities within Indo-Iranian shoes and boots. mile:
I have no argument concerning upturned toes, a style that has centuries and centuries of "wear" behind it. illy:
