Travelling Shoes


Ancient Roman travelling shoes, from a bronze vase in the Collegio Romano and Pompeian painting. The ordinary ancient Roman shoe was somewhat like the modern shoe, it protected both the sole and the upper part of the foot and was fastened with laces or straps. Socks were not worn but those with tender or cold feet protected their feet by wrapping strips of cloth around them.
