"Foot-gear was mainly of two kinds, but was worn in many styles and customs. The rules for shoes weren't as strict as those for regular clothing. The calceus was a sandal like shoe strapped to the foot, mainly for internal wear. The soleae was a full shoe completely enclosing the foot, much more similar to the modern shoe. Shoes and sandals were made in varying materials and colors, again depending on social status. Leather was by far the most common material and could be easily dyed to reflect position such as red shoes for patricians."
