Galahad Shoes

THE WORLD IS AT YOUR FEET

Epic Armoury’s Galahad Shoes are probably the most versatile medieval shoes in our selection. They are ideal for a townsperson, a soldier, a scrappy adventurer, or even a roughed-up orc. Made from tough, yet supple brown synthetic coloured leather and a rubber outsole, this shoe is handmade and durable while still offering comfortable support around the ankle. Easily slide these shoes onto your feet, adjusting the fit by lacing the leather drawstrings on both sides tight below the ankles.

Epic Armoury’s Shoes Galahad are designed with a pointed toe and contrasting, resilient stitching. They are a perfect addition to your fantasy or historical reenactment costume and will last a long time with proper care and maintenance. Epic Armoury’s footwear is measured in European sizes.

One of your greatest lessons was learning never to be caught, and it is the person who is always moving who survives. You travel from tavern to barn to abandoned shack, never growing attached or creating ties. You are the wandering adventurer.

Your many travels require a pair of Traveler Boots designed to last. You rely on these boots to keep you on your feet! Along with your sword, armour and your skill, you expect that you may yet live to be a wisened old veteran. You certainly have the survival instinct.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Traveler Boots are tall leather boots with soft, split-leather on the inside. These knee-high boots have a flexible cuff at the knee which can be flipped up or down for a classic pirate look. The soles come to a sharp point inspired by 12th century medieval fashion, pointing up at a jaunty 45° angle. Secure these boots using the adjustable lacing up the calf, set with rounded leather cords through brass eyelets.

Made from chrome-tanned split-leather, a flexible top-grain insole, and a 7mm thick natural rubber outsole, Epic Armoury’s Traveler Boots are designed to complete your fantasy or historic costume. With reinforced stitching around the edges and reinforced leather at the heels, these boots are built to withstand extensive abuse with regular leather care.

"Sir, I don't think they're real pirates."
"What do you mean, Navigator?"
"Well, Captain, their flag only has one bone, they demanded we handed over limes, and their personal hygeine seems impeccable."
"A pox on what you say, look at their shoes! B'lud, they are but the serious business!"

The treasures of the sea are vast and varied. The last ship unfortunate enough to have crossed your path had all sorts of interesting prizes.

One well dressed fellow even had a set of surprisingly useful Pirate Gaiters on him. Since he no longer needs them, you’ve taken them for yourself and have grown to like the way they protect your expensive boots from the harsh salt sprays and occasional sword blow.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Black Pirate Gaiters are protective garments designed to be worn over shoes or boots. These knee-high gaiters keep the ankle, shins, calves and the top of the foot safe from treacherous briars or thick mud. Secure them by adjusting the six leather straps at the calf and one strap around the arch of the shoe, making them usable with nearly any size shoe or calf. An additional strap along the bottom hooks around the heel to keep the edges from curling.

Cover your footwear with these gaiters to turn modern shoes into period-appropriate wear that will fit a pirate or equally scruffy scoundrel of ill-repute. With a black synthetic leather body, leather straps and heel, and a canvas lining, these gaiters are built to withstand extensive abuse with regular leather care.

HISTORY

• Primarily used as protective equipment against underbrush, or to keep mud from entering the boot
• Historically used for horseback riding to protect the rider’s leg from wear

Your morning routine is an essential part of your strict fitness and discipline standards. You wake early for sword drills, and before the sun is fully over the horizon you are eating breakfast and washing up for the day.
