Archaeologists find 2,000-year-old Roman military sandals in Germany with nails for traction

Very cool. Hob nail boots appear to have always been in fashion.

Definitely wore well

Interesting that the story has a headline and opening about a new minor archeological find in Germany but most of the article is about older finds at Vindolanda in England. I now know more about ancient Roman footwear than I ever expected to know and certainly more than I will ever need to know.

I wonder if some day far in the future archeologists will be writing about finding our boots, shoes, and flip-flops while excavating one of our military bases.
