Description – 
Germanic Calcei Boots, as the name suggests, were specifically designed for military men who endured the harsh outdoor conditions. The Roman soldiers had to walk hundreds of miles during the Christian crusades and other territorial expeditions. The design of these boots covers the entire foot and has a hard sole for difficult terrains across the European lands. The shoes have holes all around the foot for proper ventilation and air movement. They have a high-ankled design to give additional support for walking/running across rugged terrains.

The leather thongs used in the shoes have a square section. Historically, it is believed that all the laces for all types of shoes were made from leather scraps left over after shoe production.
