Re-enactor in the panopoly of a Crupellarius, a heavily armored Roman gladiator type of the 1st century AD
it is I, cheese-grater face!
Show some respect. He's the gratest warrior from our town.
With a shield that small I feel like he will parry anything I throw at him

Looks like they're basically moccasins. Comfy in the right context but basically no support. They would need replaced frequently too...often enough that I wouldn't be surprised if common people did repairs themselves.
Carbatinae were indeed quick to wear out!
The rest of the outfit not so much
