Decorated Buffalo Leather Ankle Boots – Late 13th Century
Construction and Material
The boots are made from strong and durable genuine buffalo leather. This material is prized for its durability and specific grain, which makes every pair original. The cut of the boot respects period trends – the toe is slightly pointed but remains practically rounded. The fastening is managed by an ingenious strip of leather that wraps around the foot below the ankle and is secured by tying a single strap. This ensures the boot fits perfectly and stays on.
The sole is made of thick leather and is attached to the boot using a historical method – it is nailed. This ensures a strong joint and an authentic look even from the bottom.

Warning and Care
The leather sole is historically accurate but can be slippery on modern smooth surfaces (tiles, parquet). For frequent wear on concrete, we recommend having a rubber sole applied. Treat the leather regularly with quality balm or beeswax to keep it soft and durable.
