I mean … maybe they had to keep some uniforms there for new recruits. and the biggest sandals rarely got used and got left behind when Rome abandoned the isles ?
Or maybe they are finding raw materials. Perhaps they would make shoes as needed, and they had soles cut to a huge size so you’d be able to trim them down to whatever size was needed.

Weren’t they expected to provide their own equipment unless they were at least a certain rank?
New recruits were provided basic equipment, and the cost was deducted from their pay. Sandals would fall under this for sure.
Thanks! I think I was mixing it up with higher ranks being expected to provide the equipment for their troops.
