Questions (linothorax, sandals, Spartan moustache)

- if you're going to wear sandals, the weapon will STILL cut through and puncture the skin Big Grin

Not if you had decent sandals. A good one would have an ox- or cow-hide sole and no discarded weapon would penetrate it. Indeed, leather has a special quality which enables it to "turn" sharp points and edges, not allowing them to grip and penetrate. This is why it was so often used to make or cover shields. There is plenty of evidence for this last, both historical and from practical experiments. Leather sandals WORK.
