What is the name for the footwear fitted with rudimentary wings as worn by certain Greek and Roman gods?

You see this depicted with Gods like Hermes, Mercury and Iris - either winged sandals or winged boots. The term for this footwear is TALARIA. I only know this because it would be such a terrific way to beat the traffic into work and I have seached high and low for a pair. No luck though. They never seem to have them in my size. I guess the Gods must have big feet.
