Shoes.

Generally, they were of the same shape as the sabatons, because the armor covered stuff that was already there.

Go to Shoemaking, you'll find a large list of various websites that cover the entire shoemaking process. However, from that list, Marc Carlson's site (http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-ca ... OEHOME.HTM) is considered to be be one of the best on the web. Your interest will probably be satiated with solely it.

It shouldn't be hard to tell what type of shoe they wore under the sabaton if you know what type of sabaton/solleret they were wearing.
The sabatons, while primamrily made for defense of the foot, nevertheless follwed the prevailing styles of the day. When round-toed shoes were in fashion, round-toed sabatons went over them. Same with the pointy toed turnshoe.
