Greetings,
I thought that the Latin for “Roman sandal”, i.e. a sole attached to thin straps wound around the foot and halfway up the leg, was “crepida”, but my dictionary seems to imply that “crepida” means only the sole.
Many thanks,
Simon

crepida/solea
'Crepida' is perhaps the more common word. 'Solea' may mean 'slipper' as well as 'sandal'; like a modern sandal, it was fastened to the foot by a leather strap, being thus distinct from a 'calceus' ('shoe'), which covered the whole foot.
