Personally I think ALL Caligae stretched out in the back eventually.

also the ones found. however during walking/marching it doesnt give any trouble, as long as the top side on your ankle and the top side on your foot are bound tight enough, but not so tight it stops the blood-flow, of course...

however, one thing that might prevent the stretching is if you fold the back side together and then stitch it, since then you get a sturdy rib like structure on the back end

(dont forget to punch out holes on the inside where the triangles come together top side to prevent tearing of the leather!

another possibility to strenghen the back.
