There are no such things as "Roman sandals". Sandals are sandals and they were standard footwear for all ancient Mediterranean peoples (and for many today). There is no historical record of who first wore them. The sandal was probably invented when the first caveman accidentally stepped on a hot ember and burnt his foot.
