HEMA leather boots for fencing
Swordsman’s High Boots “Dragon”
Historical fencing medieval boots, heritage edition
The balance of modern comfort, historical or fantasy appearance and nowadays manufacturing technologies is a signature ArmStreet feature. And the applied domain for this balance is often inspired by our own hobbies. Imagine yourself plunging headlong into a passion for historical fencing while being used to high-quality and good-looking gear. You research the market, find nothing and in a blink of an eye your team is creating a whole new line of head-to-toe equipment for HEMA, WMA and all the possible groups of people with swords, rapiers and flames in their eyes. The "Dragon" footwear is at the toe part of this line, though your first intention might be to keep them closer to the head or rather to the aforementioned eyes. Just to see all the detail of this masterpiece. In case you are a lucky owner of our "Forest" boots, you can have extra fun comparing those two models as they are close relatives. Let us know in the comments section, what common features and differences you've spotted.
The "Dragon" boots were designed and gradually improved through continual communication with fellow swordsmen. The essential features of fencing footwear are perfect grip on different surfaces both indoors and outdoors, lightweight, ankle support and freedom of movement. The comfort of modern sneakers comes as a bonus. You can rely on a unique scale-pattern outsole for your unpredictable jumps or lounges on grass and sand, wooden floor and soil. Its width helps maintain balance even on logs and stones. However, beware of modern pavement such as sharp asphalt or gravel as they might significantly shorten the lifespan of outsoles. And thanks to soft supinators you can easily spend the whole weekend of travel-competition-travel back without owing your feet a SPA day afterwards. We highly recommend paying special attention to the lacing – the boots feature a whole system of holes and hinges to provide fencers with maximum control over the adjustment of each boot to each particular foot.
Most of ArmStreet products are eyecatchers and those boots are no exception. Even in a slightly more modest version of the heritage edition they still look badass and attractive. Just like you, right?

I absolutely love these boots. I wore them for a 6 hour battle at a LARP over rough terrain, mud, woods, and concrete floors and they worked well for all of it. They were like wearing a cross between sneakers and boots, without the clunkiness of boots. They fit my Ranger outfit so well, giving it a completed look. They're also priced really well compared to similar high boots from other sellers. Definitely worth the investment.
These boots are great. I had them on for 10 hours straight during my event with no issue. Very comfortable with solid soles that held up excellently walking over uneven hard terrain. Feet didn't overheat at all like I thought they might have.
I've never had on my feet such as good and confortable boots as yours. Onestly? Fully satifacted!
Great customer service when I had questions, and beautiful quality boots, Only one thing I would say, and it isn't really a negative. These are not boots that can be taken off and out on quickly, but once they are laced up, they are so damned comfortable. 100% happy with my purchase!
Enjoy your boots. And you can at least easily take them off using open hooks down there - they allow you to unlace your ankle really fast. With some experience you can keep boots half-unlaced in this area to put them on quickly too - but it will take some time to learn how to do it effectively :-)
Would these or the "Matted Leather “Forest” Boots" be better for hiking/walking several hours a day. These are advertised for fencing, so it's a little confusing.
Hello, they are not intended to be worn for hiking and we do not have such a fedback yet, but taking into account the comfortable wear and thick soles, they might work.
