Medieval ankle boots Godfrey, black

Product description

These medieval ankle boots are based on originals that were worn throughout medieval Europe during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Ankle boots offered extra support to the foot and ankles, making them a popular form of footwear. Shoes were very expensive during the Middle Ages and were expected to last for years. They were mended, handed down amongst family members, and combined with wooden pattens, which were intended to protect the shoes against wear and tear. Pattens were also useful for walking through the dirty streets of the city. These ankle boots feature beautiful historic brass buckles. The shoes may be fastened with three leather straps that are adjustable to your size. The ankle boots are crafted from high-quality vegetable-tanned brown leather. The sole is constructed from rubber so that the footwear lasts longer and to prevent slipping on slippery surfaces such as wet grass. Rubber is also better suited to modern surfaces such as concrete and asphalt than historical leather soles. These ankle boots make a handsome and durable addition to your medieval reenactment or LARP costume.
