Rich Landsknecht Shoes

If you really want to lean into that flamboyant, "don’t mess with me" Renaissance look, the Rich Landsknecht Shoe is the way to do it. Inspired by the late medieval and Renaissance period, specifically the Landsknechts, these shoes are all about making a statement. They have that iconic wide, slashed look that tells everyone you’ve seen some action and have the gold to show for it.

These are constructed from durable leather to withstand the rigors of extended events, while still being representative of the period in their design. The bright, red highlights showing through the black leather cuts create the authentic "Puff and Slash" effect delivered instantly; there is no need for you to add any form of stitching! Whether you want to complete the full Landsknecht look, or just a character with extra gold, these shoes will serve you well.

Although they belong in the 16th Century, we made sure that these sandals would fit today’s foot needs as well. The leather is strong and durable but also able to stretch/fit well after a few wearings. The flat bottom of the sandal provides the same look as an original with the added benefit of being useful when walking around camp or on cobblestones. These sandals are unique and will elevate the entire "cool" aesthetic of your outfit.

Why they’re a great pick:

• Authentic Landsknecht Style: Features the classic slashed leather design seen in late medieval and Renaissance history.
• Sturdy Leather Build: Made from real leather that’s durable enough for a full weekend of wandering the fair or the battlefield.
• Bold Color Contrast: The black leather with red details gives you that high-contrast, flashy look that defines the era.
• Huge Size Range: We’ve got these available from EU36 all the way up to EU47, so almost anyone can get that mercenary look.
• Color & Sizes:
• Available in Black with Red details.
• Sizes from EU36 to EU47.

Please note: pre-order is usually required for these shoes as the range of sizes is not kept in stock at all times.

"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
