Greek footwear

[M. Demetrius]

Do you have any leatherworking skills? Sandalia like those are not that hard to make, and do not take many tools.

All the sandals on that list have heels, and while they are low, as far as I know, ancient Greek shoes did not. It could be that the heels are removable without much trouble, I don't know how they're constructed exactly. If they are glued, it's possible to work them loose. If they are molded plastic in one piece (likely) then you're stuck.

Largely, what you choose to wear will be a result of a group decision...that is, if you're working with a group. I have seen a supplier who makes a Roman sandal something like the 51 on your list, his being patterned after a found shoe. That's not Greek, though. http://members.ozemail.com.au/~chrisand ... andals.htm
Start here. These are really simple instructions on how to make these. The pair on top has similarity to the 51. Be sure to use a soft leather for the string, or you will wish you had when you have walked a while in them. Hope that helps. Costs for a pair should be around 10-15 dollars, I'd think. Vegetable tanned leather isn't that expensive. I don't think Greeks used hobnails, so you can omit that set of steps.

Hope that helps.
