A military march is about 3 miles per hour, for perspective.

In Sweden we count a standard step of 90 centimeter and a pace of 120 steps per minute. That means that 5000 metres (0,5 kilometer) will be covered every 49th minute. With a ten minutes break each hour, you and the troop will finish a 30 km march within the time frame of six hours. That is 3.1 miles per hour.

Sandals? They wouldn't provide much protection against the weather and, say, farm conditions, would they? I've never seen anyone wearing sandals in paintings or drawings from the Middle Ages. Thanks for another great video -- I especially like your use of chaptering.

I would think that something akin to moccasins were standard footwear.

I hope they didn't wear those shoes with the pointy toes!
