Firstly, I want to thank everyone who replied to my first post. This place is a gold mine!Anyway, I want to get a pair of boots for fencing that would approxomate the effects of period footwear on footwork, and I'd like to have them historically accurate if possible. My focus is mainly the Liechtenauer school of the 15th century, though I am becoming very interested in the Harlian/Cotton Titus English work of the same era.
Would you happen to know of any style of high topped boot with a rounded toe in the 15th, early 16th century? Something like the common "musketeer boot", if a bit more historically accurate. I don't know if it's accurate for this time period, but the general shape of men's modern horse riding boots is what I'm after.
Thank you all for your time,
Taylor
