Agreed.Also,Xenophon mentions shoes in his Anabasis.He said his soldiers made shoes from stripes of leather because their original ones were destroyed for long.But again,these shoes are mentioned when they were crossing snowy mountains.And he is writing about 400 bc,when shoes and bootes are already more frequent,the war has changed and notice that their shoes did not last even some months.
