Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of shoes did they wear during the Middle Ages?
Here are some of the most distinctive and controversial shoes from the Middle Ages:
- Pattens: They looked like clogs or shoes with raised platforms and were worn over regular shoes to protect them from mud and dirt. Both men and women wore these protective overshoes.
- Poulaines: The term poulaine can mean the shoes themselves or their pointed toes, such as long-toed ankle boots. The nobility, particularly the men, wore them as a symbol of status and leisure. Some toes were so ridiculously long that they were banned or their lengths regulated under sumptuary laws.
- Turnshoes: These leather shoes were created inside out and turned, resulting in their name. Soft-soled slip-ons were widely used during the Middle Ages and are recreated in modern times, such as Viking turnshoes.
- Boots: Men across social classes wore this kind of footwear. As noted below, boots appeared in various lengths and were fastened using laces, buckles, and buttons.
What kind of boots did men wear in the Middle Ages?
Men and sometimes women wore their boots low or high like up to the thigh and knee:
- Ankle boots were primarily used for work.
- Hueses referred to high leather boots that reached the thighs or soled hoses.
- Estivaux were short boots described as soft and lightweight.
- Brodequin referred to laced boots that ended at the knee or calf, although they may have been initially the stockings worn inside boots.
Women may have also worn some of the period shoes and boot styles mentioned here.
What were medieval boots made of?
Boots were made of leather and fabrics, like estivaux. The quality of leather for the footwear did vary. Wealthy people would have their boots embroidered, fur-lined, and colored, among other tweaks.
