Both occurrences use an accusative plural neuter form in directives about clothing. In Acts 12:8 the APB renders the instruction, "Dress yourself and put on your sandals," while in Mark 6:9 it renders the direction that they were to "wear sandals."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "sandals" in both verses, within instructions to put them on or wear them.
