Knight shoes from Vehi Mercatus
Experience the world of knights and discover the fascinating history of their knight shoes - from robust combat boots to elegant civilian shoes. Knights, the legendary warriors of the Middle Ages, were not only known for their bravery and armor, but also for their unique shoes, which were both functional and a status symbol.
Who were knights?
A knight was a mounted warrior of the European Middle Ages who was characterized by courage, honour and fighting skills. These men of valor were part of a social elite who distinguished themselves through their skills in battle and their loyalty to their liege lord.
The age of the knights began in the 11th century and lasted until the end of the Middle Ages. During this time, knights evolved from military nobility to a social class defined by their chivalric virtues and lifestyle.
What shoes did knights wear?
In battle, knights wore shoes that were part of their armor. These were often made of leather and reinforced with metal or encased in a sabaton to provide maximum protection. The shoes had to be flexible enough to ensure mobility and at the same time robust enough to withstand the rigors of battle.
Off the battlefield, knights preferred more elegant shoes that reflected their status and wealth. These shoes were often made of finer leather and had elaborate decorations. Pointed beak shoes were particularly popular with noble knights and served as a sign of their high rank.
Knights had a choice of shoe types, depending on their area of use. There were special combat boots for battle, while elegant leather shoes were worn in civilian life. Boots ranged from simple leather boots to elaborately decorated examples that emphasized the knight's personal style.
