Black Medieval Boots

Black Medieval Boots

• These are excellent short boots
• Premium grade leather
• As for a time frame, it's about 700 A.D.

Finding accurate footwear has been one of the more difficult problems to face the medieval weapons enthusiast or re-enactor. However, in the past few years we are proud of the fact that we have been able to offer period footwear. On a colleague's visit to Leeds to check out the museum, they found some medieval boots on display and had them copied. The originals were made on a common last, and as a result were neither right nor left. But our boots have both a right and a left.

The longsword, often called a hand-and-half sword, saw a great deal of service as a battle ready weapon of war, but was also employed a great deal as a civilian medieval weapon of self-defense. Coupled with a dagger, the longsword was an excellent defense against robbers, thieves, footpads, assassins and even some of the robber bands that might roam the countryside. A good serviceable point allowed the longsword to be used for thrusting, and a medium weight allowed it to be used easily and carried with equal ease. This weight of a longsword also allowed it to be used with one hand with a dagger in the other. But when needed, it could be gripped with both hands for a very powerful cut.

The longsword pommel and guard are complied with steel. The grip is a solid wood wrapped with leather and wire.

In our professional opinion, this is a beautiful and very functional longsword.
