Recent excavations at the site of the Roman fort of Magna, which is close to the residential town of Vindolanda, in the hinterland of Hadrian’s Wall, have yielded more leather Roman shoes similar to those from Vindolanda. Preserved in the particular soil conditions of the area, what is especially notable about these new finds are the sizes of many of these military sandals in that they were the equivalent of a modern British size 13.
