Ramshaw-Type Calcei are also acceptable, as they were in use from the 4th-7th centuries (a pair from the late 6th/early 7th century was found at Achmim-Panopolis).
Well Leg Wraps weren't as common as people like to believe, but yes both puttees/gaiters (Fascia Crurales) and Leg Wraps like the ones from Sogaardes-Mose (Lorum Fasciari) were in use.
So were Soleae... they were pretty much the same. Just quality off-duty shoes. Some variations of Caligae were still in use too, but not the 1st century style.
