I've changed all my uniforms to "replace", now but when I look at individual dwarf inventories in-game,
It appears many of them will only wear one (Left or right) gauntlet and/or one right high boot, and no left  :o
Any ideas?

My uniforms are pretty standard light-full-coverage builds, with socks, legwear gloves, and mittens of their choice added to
mail shirt, leather armor, cloak, hood, gauntlets, high boots, helms, shield
Did you notice that it says "boot" or "gauntlet" on the equip screen (rather than "boots" or "gauntlets") after you put it on a dwarf? That's not a typo, it only assigns one, so you have to tell them to equip two gauntlets and two boots

Hm, very good to know that you have to specify both of a pair. I guess that is done to handle the problem with the one legged soldier how fails to put on the second boot (which DT reported as missing eqipment)?

Incorrect, you only need to assign "gauntlets" and "boots" so one of each. I do it and it works fine, yes it says "boot" or "gauntlet" after you assigned it but it actually is a pair.

Don't assign any mittens/gloves or socks and it should work for you too.

This is the correct answer. Helped quite a few people with one gauntlet or one boot issues the other day and this was the problem every time. Just skip the socks and mittens. You're not getting enough extra protection for it to be worth the hassle and risk of a missing steel high boot.

unless you're in favour of an extra 1/100th chance of stopping a bruising on one foot for losing another entirely!
