Ahem.
Caligae would have been cooler on the march than enclosed boots. In warm, Mediterranean climates, this may have been an advantage. In northern Britain’s cold, wet climate, additional woven socks or raw wool wadding in winter may have helped insulate the feet

Socks were not normally worn with Caligae . Although in colder climates such as Britain, soldiers could wear caligas fascias (socks) under their Caligae for warmth. Around the Mediterranean, though, the openings provided plenty of air circulation for comfort.
I think I’ll stick with the time-tested version, the Romans were on to something, I think. The Appian Way didn’t just clear and pave itself, or tread itself, all on its own.

Do you put the sock in the toe shoes, or wear them outside the toe shoes?
