The Story Behind These Medieval Half Boots
Inspired by the rugged footwear of the Middle Ages and the versatile styles of the late medieval period, these boots were created for the modern enthusiast. Footwear in history was a mark of status and utility; our half boots capture that essence, offering a design that works for peasants, knights, and merchants alike. Whether you are a dedicated LARP (Live Action Role Play) participant, a history buff, or someone looking for a unique steampunk or gothic edge, these boots are built to help you step into your character with confidence and ease.
Design Features
- Period-Inspired Silhouette: Features a classic half-boot height that sits comfortably above the ankle for support and style.
- Vintage Lace-Up Closure: The traditional lacing system allows for a customized fit, ensuring the boot stays secure during active movement.
- Reinforced Stitching: High-stress areas are double-stitched to provide longevity through multiple seasons of events and festivals.
- Textured Grip Outsole: The rubber-blend sole is designed with a subtle tread to provide traction on grass, dirt, and stage floors.
- Comfort-Contoured Footbed: Includes a lightly padded interior to reduce fatigue during long hours of walking or standing.
- Low Profile Heel: Features a flat or very low block heel (approx. 1-2cm) consistent with historical footwear styles for a natural gait.
Material & Quality
We believe in honest material representation. These boots are constructed from high-quality synthetic PU leather, providing the weathered look of traditional hide without the high maintenance or ethical concerns of animal products. The materials are selected for their ability to withstand outdoor conditions while remaining flexible enough for active use.
- Outer Material: Premium Vegan/PU Leather with a matte, vintage finish.
- Inner Lining: Breathable synthetic fabric to prevent overheating during summer fairs.
- Sole: Durable, flexible rubber-composite for shock absorption and grip.

- Available Sizes: EU 37 to EU 46 (Standard Unisex Sizing).
- Shaft Height: Approximately 15-18cm from the arch depending on size.
- Fit Note: If you plan to wear thick wool socks (traditional for medieval looks), we recommend sizing up by one for the best fit.

What Our Community Says
'Finally, a pair of boots that survived a full weekend in the mud at the fair and still looked great after a quick wipe down. The lacing makes them so easy to fit over my thick socks.' - Julian, Utrecht
'I used these for my pirate captain cosplay. They are much more comfortable than I expected, and they don't have that plastic-shiny look some cheap boots have.' - Elena, Berlin
