Sir William:
The dreaded banhammer! Hurry and post those pics, Sir Ian! lol
Sir James A:
Sir Wolf, a FARB hammer as the ban hammer?? I feel a PROPER medieval ban hammer looming above him...... ;)
Sir Gerard de Rodes:
For the combat environment (for us 99% of the time it is on grass) I swear by my G.D.F.B. high boots with hob nails, perfect.

For posing around in posh kit I want to get myself a pair of pointed court shoes, poulaines, with matching pattens.

As Ian says, I would have thought these would have had quite soft soles.
Some nice footwear here,

I found a few cool options that they claim to be handmade. I wonder if it is good enough for LH. The prices are pretty good considering....

not period leather. its chrome tanned. but it will work in some circles and most don't know the difference. the overall appearance isn't bad, but the toe should be pointed. rounded shoes are more "dark aged". hmm just noticed the other views. the bottom's should be thicker and the sewing should go at a 45% angle thru the bottom sides and straight thru the sides. then flipped.

again not bad but wrong leather and way to thin of a sole.
yikes, for that price you should get better.
