Then what do they do with their longbows?

Show me the helmet.

Footmen are required to protect archers though. It makes sense that they would have some dedicated melee units, because such forces are needed to defend the archers and to engage the enemy. They wouldn't all rely on a bow, as it's senseless to think they would all be archers by profession. Aragorn didn't carry a bow, as one might think. He waltzed straight into Bree with Anduril on his belt and no other weapon. Obviously some of them don't use bows.
