Hi Kineas. Before expressing my doubts about felt boots shown often worn under sandals and shown under the coutches,I also wait for Theron or Sekundar to post their evidence. However,similar wraps,natural wool colour,were worn not long ago by Thracians in my area. They tied them with wool cloth,not leather and wore them with skin pointed shoes,similar to the pointed shoes shown in vases.
I wasn't able to find photos of them,but I found videos:

Similar leg wraps I have seen by Byzantine re-enactors I think.Though not that thick.
