Well, I got my chainmail chaps

[Sir William]

Ser William the boots you are referencing look very similiar to late 16th/17th century bucket top boots, but rolled up of course. I would say they would pass the 10 foot rule for that period, but I would be suspicious of them for earlier periods. As you say though, you are not in a reenactment group are doing this more for fun and general looks, so I think if you like them, they look periodish so go for it.

I had forgotten Viking Leather Crafts, though I have never dealt with them myself, I hear good things. Another place to look at is Reconstructing History. They have a limited selection of footwear, most for later periods, and clothing patterns for a wide variety of time periods. Prices are prettty decent, quality is good and they are very easy to deal with. I bought a pair of latchet shoes from them and am thinking of picking up another pair, open side instead of the closed side I got this time, and a pair of Kuhlmale Landsknecht shoes.

I know what boots you're talking about, Matthew (bucket top) but those were not it...knee high at best and close to the leg.  However, I get the feeling I'll be catching a lot of haze from Sir Wolf so maybe I'll go with something else.  I just like the higher boots.

Leganoth, that's a good choice in boots...I may go with the same, in natural or brown.

You could pull off higher boots with a 15th century kit. Later in the century some knights liked a 3/4 harness and boots to accessorize!

I'm working my way through the centuries...got started somewhere in the 10th and have been making steady progress.  I'm aiming at 14th C squarely in the nose, currently.

you can? hehehe are you swiss? only place i've seen that look. otherwise high boots are seen are horsemen only in their everyday clothing

[Sir Matthew]

Bucket tops can be rolled up to just below the knee or rolled down to form the trade mark cuff that is ussually pictured. My Captain has a pair and says they are really comfortable, but I have my doubts. I really like my Brohgans for fit, support and comfort, although I did cheat and put in a modern insole. I also have a pair of RH closed side latchets, but I don't much care for them. They feel a little too much like wearing sandles for my taste. I have a really old pair of Sandler mid calf high boots that I love, they are really comfortable and supportive, but I need to have them resoled after ten years of abuse. I also have a pair of ankle boots and curley toed shoes and like them as well.

Hey, even though it's only Swiss, it was done. Besides, I wouldn't mind having the track record of a Swiss in the later 15th century. Weren't doing to bad, last time since Charles the Bold checked

Well if I cannot find boots I will just get sabatons instead of leather boots http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/p-3132-churburg-sabatons.aspx  these are best i could find and only one every site has

I have those. If you wear size 16 triple-wide shoes, they're probably okay, but non-sasquatchians will have to do more than a little tweaking to them. They're worth the $100 shipped as a starting point, but only as a starting point, IMO.
