Description – 
Roman Caligae Sandals are a piece of Roman footwear used by Roman cavalrymen as well the countrymen like farmers, workers, etc. Caligae are high-ankle sandals and they have a mesh/open design to give breathable comfort to the user. The soldiers preferred these sandals in warm/tropical climates during their expeditions. Some historical findings also show that the cavalrymen also wore socks with these sandals. The Caligae were designed in both fashions, with and without hobnails as per the requirement. Hobnails provided better traction on the ground and also became an additional fighting aid during close combat situations.
