My friends speculate that the first image boods have stripes to be tighten over the calf. The second image with Oidepus are the real "traveling - campaign" boots that the Beotians used.
Whell most pottery shows "Beotian" shorter than "Thracian".
Pottery shows a tight fitting "soft leater" version that might fit with grieves.
I belive that possibly "Kalithea style" grieves were worn over boots.
I plan to test wering various style grieves over my "Thracian" boots at Watford.
Kind regards
