I fought in my Medival low boots from Revival Clothing this weekend for the first time and LOVE THEM!

I had a local cobbler put on a Vibram sole that I picked out from his catalogue.

Total price, about $100 for medival fighting shoes. The cool thing about these is that I can easiy fit my ankle braces in them, which are a requirement for me now. Traction was superb, movement was excellent, and they looked sharp as hell!

My only small complaint is that I forgot to bring the sports insert with me and my feet were a little sore breaking in the new shoes.

But that is no reflection on the excellent product from Revival!

Also, I had a chance to fight a Pass with Brian Price's Talhoffer 1467 warhammer head. Wow those were fun!!! I tend to fight polearm like a short spear, and I love that I was able to use the shape of the axe head to intangle my oppenants weapon and parry into a thrust. (Thrusting tip from Mandrake armoury...) Overall it was an excellent weapon and I hope they get picked up society wide.

Sir BdeB, i have tryed to fight in my revival low cut boot but found them to "slippery" and can't afford any ankle or leg injury's.
i love my revival boots though and would love to fight in them...how much was it to add the mundane soles to your boots, if i may inquire ???

Cost me $25 but I had a slight discount from the guy....should cost around $30-35 total to add the vibram and have them put it on. Revival offers it as an extra on new shoes I think, but I wanted to pick out the grip myself.

Thank's, i saw sir sarnac's post and could not find there new soles listed on there web sight (revival). will try and seek out a cobbler to add some soles. thank's again !!!

The vibram option is kinda hard to find on the Revival site. You get the option to add them when you check out, and I don't eve remember it appearing on your total ($25 more, I think - but I may be misremembering). I think it's a "note" field on the checkout page. Look again.

I got a pair of these just a couple of months ago, and will never fight in anything else. If they go out of business, or stop selling these boots, I may have to hunt them down and kill them...
