THE CALIGAE OR MILITARY BOOT OFTEN REFERRED TO AS SANDALS.

HTTP://WWW.KHUKRIWALA.COM/MEDIEVAL-BODY-ARMOR1.HTML

Simplicity of construction and practical hard wearing design.

A very small amount of stitching at the back of the heel.

Stitching rots and wears faster than the leather, the sole and the upper become separated, because said stitching has given up.

A Roman boot lasts me four or five times as long as any of my other authentic footwear and more comfortable than most.
