New greek shoes after Hermes of Praxiteles, Olympia

[Lýsandros]

While browsing the net today, I have found this company. There is only one interesting product for fans of Ancient Greece, but it looks good enough for me to mention it in here:

Lets discuss what you think about them!

This probably belongs to the marketplace forum, but since I have found it by chance and I am not the seller, I thought it would be more useful to discuss it here.

Wow, that's pretty darned close to what the sculpture looks like. I can see people wearing those to a Greek event for sure. :!:

The only commercial candidate i guess,that is a bit accurate. I haven't seen anything else. I think it is pretty good,with no heel, no heel seam and sole cut in the toe outline. The quality looks good and i'd say re-enactors go for it. Of course DSC will be making a more "polemic" sandal in the near future,but diversity is something that greek re-enacting lacks.
It is a relatively late design,but it is true that similar sandals existed even in the archaic period.
Nice find Lysandros. Your sandals are also one of the best in the hobby :wink:

Thank you Giannis, I like my sandals very much, too They were made by the same guy who made my leather spolas. He has a lot of experience making roman caligae, so a slight deviation from his usual work was not so much of a problem. Now that I think about the price, it was somewhere around 100 Euro.
