Well, Robert is right that one of the shoes from Deurne had a spur attached and was contributed to the cavalry, but mrs Van Driel - Murray classes it as a type and states these were found in other locations, such as Vindolanda and shown on the statues of the Tetrarchs. She claims surviving examples of the type from Switzerland, Luxumbourg, France, Netherlands (the Deurne finds) and Britain (York).
She describes 4th century footwear as .. The upper is cut very low, exposing a large portion of the foot, and the shoes are fastened with an anklestrap and stud arrangement, or are tied through ankle latchets My favorite would be the nr 1 shoe, which is the most symmetrical. Where did Robert get his? You could have them made by Dirk Steinhorst of www.cohors.de, he really makes great shoes you can go the distance with.
