Product description
These boots are suitable for Landsknecht reenactment. A Landsknecht (or Lansknecht) was a mercenary soldier who belonged to an organized fighting force, primarily composed of pikemen. These troops played a significant role on European battlefields from the late Middle Ages into the early modern period. They were known for their discipline, effectiveness, and often flamboyant clothing. Within the Landsknecht ranks, two main groups are generally distinguished: Swiss Landsknechts, active from the 14th to the 16th century and German Landsknechts, primarily active during the 15th and 16th centuries. Both groups were renowned for their combat strength and formed the backbone of many armies of the time, particularly in battles where massed formations of pikemen were decisive. These boots feature a rubber sole, making them practical for battles and walking on modern surfaces such as asphalt and gravel.

Maintenance & care
Just as with weaponry, you can care for your shoes and leatherware by applying a little Ballistol after cleaning. This prevents the leather from drying out.
When packaging this item, we exclusively use 100% recycled plastic and recycled paper/cardboard from FSC certified forests. We reuse a large part of the material directly without the intervention of a recycling process.
Recycle the material by separating your waste:
1. Cardboard: separate or reuse your paper.
2. Plastic cushions, clothing bags and plastic tape: separate or reuse your plastic. If possible, pierce the cushions with a volume reduction needle.
3. Paper packaging for jewelry and small items: these have a plastic inner layer. Remove these, then separate your paper and plastic.
