''Soleae ligneae'', soles or shoes of wood, were put on, under the authority of the Roman law, either for the purpose of torture, or perhaps merely to indicate the condition of a criminal, or to prevent his escape. <ref>[[Cicero]] Invent. ii.50, ad Herenn. i.13</ref>

In domestic life the sandal commonly worn by females was often used to chastise a husband and bring him into subjection. <ref>Menander, p68. 186, ed. Meineke: solea objurgabere rubra, Pers. V.169; sandalio, Ter. Eunuch. v.8.4.; Juv. VI.516</ref>
