Sandals Roman Julius Caesar

The Roman Julius Caesar sandals are flat, dark brown strap sandals with horizontal straps that reach just below the knee and are finished with gold-coloured buckles. Slip them on for Carnival or a themed party, where they will be fully visible beneath a short tunic. The design is intended for both women and men.

Straps, buckles and sole of the sandals

• The shaft consists of wide, dark brown faux leather straps that run horizontally around the shin, from the ankle to just below the knee.
• The front features round brown discs and loose buckles in a gold tone that stand out against the brown.
• Several narrow straps run across the foot, leaving your toes free.
• The flat sole is 28 cm long.
• The sandals are made of 70% polyurethane, 20% polyester and 10% iron.
• They are suitable for both women and men.

Why do these sandals reach just below the knee?

The high shaft makes them different from low strap sandals: the straps cover the entire shin, creating the silhouette of a Roman general or legionary. Choose this tall design if your legs are visible beneath a short tunic and you want to show off the straps from afar. If you are wearing a long toga that covers your lower legs, the shaft will be largely hidden. Julius Caesar himself was not an emperor but a Roman general and statesman, and soldiers in the Roman army wore open shoes with straps, which inspired these costume sandals.

Achieve a recognisable Caesar look with the sandals

Caesar is recognisable by a white tunic, a red cape over one shoulder and a laurel wreath on his head. Let the tunic end above the knee so that the dark brown straps remain fully visible. A wide belt around the waist and a gold-coloured accent in the outfit complement the buckles on the shaft. For a Roman lady, the Caesar sandals work just as well beneath a short dress or draped garment in white or cream.
