So far, I have not been able to find any archaeological information on the senatorial shoe types. The only evidence so far seems to be various sculptures.
Or am I maybe overlooking some documentation on finds? I would love to know.
Your pefectly correct there is only sculptural evidence, though there is also plenty of evidence for construction and some surviving shoes are quite similar but for some of the details....
They are essentially a variation on the Mainz Calcei (no hobnails)
