Product description
This type of medieval boot was worn during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The toe is longer in accordance with the fashion of the time. People were fond of wearing poulaines, or shoes with very long toes. This fashion originated in Kraków, Poland, hence the name poulaines, which may be translated as 'shoes according to Polish fashion'. The toes became longer and longer, and eventually laws came into force that limited the length of the shoes for the safety of the wearers. These boots show a more modest toe length.
The boots are crafted from high-quality vegetable-tanned black leather and are exceptionally durable. They are well-suited to late medieval reenactment. The soles feature an inner layer of leather and an outer layer of rubber, permitting a firm grip on the ground and reducing the risk of slipping, unlike fully leather soles. At the heel, the soles are thicker and incorporate a reinforcement so that they last longer.
At the back, the boots may be fastened with leather laces. The leather flap can be worn according to your own wishes: folded or raised.
