Fit Right into the 15th Century

Footwear in the 15th century underwent significant development. While the nobility favoured extravagant and impractically long pointed toes (known as poulaines), more practical footwear gained prominence for daily life, travel, and military purposes. Ankle boots with buckle fastenings, just like these, were very popular. Buckles offered a quick and reliable alternative to complicated lacing and allowed for easy adjustment of the boot to the width of the foot and leg coverings. This type of footwear was common across social classes, from townsfolk and craftsmen to soldiers.

How to Care for Your Boots

To ensure your new boots serve you for as long as possible and maintain their excellent appearance, give them a little care:

• After each use, clean off any heavy dirt with a soft, damp cloth.
• Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never dry them near a direct heat source (radiator, stove, fire), as the leather could crack.
• Regularly treat the leather with a quality leather balm or conditioner. This will prevent it from drying out and keep it supple.
• If you are not wearing the boots for an extended period, stuff them with paper to maintain their shape and store them in a cool, dry place.
• You can polish the brass buckles from time to time with a soft cloth to maintain their shine.

Please Note: As these boots are handmade from a natural material, each pair is unique. Minor variations in colour shade, leather texture, or finishing details may occur, but these only enhance the authentic character of the product.
