Sarmatian/Persian soft kit 1 -100 AD?

Sutorius, Ammianus notes the fact that the nomad footwear did not have a last, and this is confirmed by boots found in the frozen Scythian-style tombs in Pazyryk and by depictions of horsemen well into the Timurid (late Mongol) period. However, I believe your Sarmatian is a foot-soldier, so he probably would have had a last under his boots. And figures on foot on Bosporan grave stèles all seem to have the same low boots as the horsemen. I do not want to be a party-pooper, but they seem to be more tight-fitting than your boot, which seems a practical idea to me.
