I agree that they're stylized, but they are supposed to depict Bipartite Ridge Helmets.
I think the shoes depicted might be similar to that of the Kemathen Warrior, whose shoes had a rather low edge and would have been more like a slipper. This could have been depicting lacing across the top of a similar style of shoe. Many Alemanns and Franks were serving in Roman Regiments at the time.
EDIT: Also, I would love to see Graham Sumner's painting of the Santa Maggiore Palatina Soldier.
