Roman Calcei Shoes | Authentic Ancient Roman Leather Footwear for Reenactment

These Roman Calcei Shoes are meticulously handcrafted to replicate the traditional closed-toe leather footwear worn by Roman citizens, officials, and soldiers during the Roman Republic and early Imperial periods. Designed for historical reenactment, living history, education, and period costume use, they emphasise historical accuracy, comfort, and durability.

Constructed from high-quality natural leather, Roman calcei were historically worn with tunics and togas and distinguished by their enclosed design and ankle-height profile, offering greater protection than open Roman sandals. These shoes feature period-correct leather stitching, wrap-around lacing, and flexible soles, consistent with ancient Roman shoemaking techniques.

Ideal for Roman reenactors, museum displays, theatrical productions, and heritage events, these calcei pair perfectly with Roman armor, civilian attire, and legionary kits, providing an authentic Roman appearance suitable for extended wear.
