Quote:I will need to make some footwear decisions this winter if my two sons (11 and 10) and a cousin of theirs (will be 12) are going to be involved in re-enactment. Being new to re-enacting, I have a few questions specifically about shoes/sandals.No Caligae for kids!
It appears the iron age shoes are carbatinae according to the jpg. That shoe would be accurate according to the members' posts in the thread on children and re-enactment.
The Commanchio sole pattern looks like a more feminine sandal - dainty and narrow in the heel. The kids would get more use from carbatinae, I suppose. From what I have been reading those are easily adjustable for some growth with the kids' feet. If not, are the solae shown accurate for boys to have around a camp setting? Are they too feminine?
Carbatinae would be the best choice for kids and you can adjust them for some growth.
It's not to difficult to make.
The "Mainz" solea would also be ok if the weather is fine :wink:
