Quote:They look stylish!

Well, probably the legionaries wanted to make a fashion statement when walking over the babarians ;-) )

Quote:How comfortable are they? Don't smaller straps cut more into the skin?

Of course they (would) do, but the foot gets the most of its hold from those broad center pieces (the ones that have the five incisions), so it is not uncomfortable. The straps to the front of it are not bound that tight.
Cheers,
Martin
