I propose that the shoes on the Adamklissi Metopes are a variation on the "Allendale" type which do occur in the arch record for the time..... and not caliga of an earlier form.

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
