Spartan Shoes/Boots?

[Megas Methuselah]

Dude, I'm sure you've read the new thread from krusader...so why be lke that?

It was an honest reply. Being "conservative" isn't enough of a reason to conclude Spartans used outdated equipment. Unfortunately for me...

We have a statue from the 2nd c. AD showing these boots in use from Sparta.

... the professor appeared and brought proper evidence. *exasperated sigh*


EDIT: Wait, is this statue entirely conclusive? For all we know, judging by the fact that this statue was dated to the 2nd century AD, these boots could merely have been a revived fashion in Sparta, a fashion which was non-existent during EB's timeframe. I'm not saying that this was the case, but we'd need more solid evidence to deduce that these particular boots were widely used amongst the Spartans during EB's timeframe.
