Well I repsect with your resevations on a fully "sodden" army but except shoes I object to the general idea that hoplites were "armorless" in the late classical period. The non-armored complement of an army might have increased by that time but still close order infantry would make any effort to armor themselves. Elite close order troops would be more armored tham the rest.
Kind regards
