Wearing greaves on the march

[ParthianBow]

As some of you may know, I march around in kit a lot, training for the charitable walks I do.

This year, I'm to walk 170+ km / 110 miles from Capua to Rome, dressed as a triarius.

I've had a pair of Greek style greaves made by Ferran Garreta. I wear only one, but despite the fact that it's been made for me, it tends to rotate anti-clockwise on my leg, meaning that a) it's uncomfortable to walk and needs twisting back into position, and b) that part of it rubs on my knee cap.

If it's a problem for me to march 8-15 km with this, it would have been a major problem for triarii on campaign. It has made me wonder if soldiers carried their greaves on a leather strap over the back of their shields. They'd be quick and easy to put on if the need arose.

I've been told that if I buy a pair of army puttees and wrap one of those around my leg, it will stop the greave rotating. Does anyone know if this works, or have any other tips? Thanks.
