Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
weary—with long marches (Deuteronomy 25:18).
none . . . slumber—requiring no rest.
girdle—with which the ancient loose robes used to be girded for action. Ever ready for march or battle.
nor the latchet . . . broken—The soles were attached to the feet, not by upper leather as with us, but by straps. So securely clad that not even a strap of their sandals gives way, so as to impede their march.
