Well heres the rub, I dont know of any examples of women clothing from Archaeology from the regions mentioned and no studies either..... so would be interested to see something as well, in the absence of evidence I suggest perhaps getting a copy of "Roman Clothing and Fashion" by Alexandra Croom, about 20 dollars and should be some use, but make sure you get the most recent version which I think is 2010....
On Shoes for Women for the early first Century Ad: again one of the most difficult areas as there are few surviving womens shoes from this time, two types that come in a variety of sizes the "Mainz" boot (plain leather or hobnailed sole) which is widespread and the the lower cut Panopolis type shoe, but again no examples from spain only hobnails that I know of.... Sandals have always been popular so I would expect to find those as well in a number of varieties...
otherwise your largely limited to interpreting sculpture and other images...

"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
