I’d think it would depend on the frequency of interactions. Leg and foot protection would add weight, so unless the dwarves were expected they might not want to bear the extra burden.
On that note, Lord of the Rings extended editions have been showing in theaters the last couple weekends. I kept thinking how prior to battles the fighters were all geared up and marched for days (or longer) and showed up throwing themselves straight into battle. Here I am not functioning as my soft ass finishes my coffee in bed, trying to negotiate when I need to actually start getting ready for work.

In the movies, the Uruk-Hai definitely marched from Isengard to Helms Deep in full armor without a supply wagon in sight.
Even when the Uruk-Hai captured Merry and Pippin they were running long distance in full gear.
But stamina in LotR is a little wonky. Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas ran ~130 miles in three days.

Back when we could expect good things from our Octogenarian politicians \s.
But on a serious note, I think the supply train for the orcs was non existent as they were … expected to live off the land…

Don’t feel too bad. Adrenaline is one hell of a drug.
