BTW my thought is that many classical hoplites and other warriors, being from a rural background and used to go barefoot (even the wealthier ones) and fighting pitched battles mostly on flat terrain, went also without shoes in war. So many hoplites were depicted barefoot.

In the hellenistic times the wars became more diverse and far spread, mercenaries and professional soldiers took over greater parts of the fighting and boots were more frequently used by those (weaklings :lol: ). Unfortunately we have less pictorial evidence from this time, but what we have show more warriors with boots and sandals than in classical pictures.
