Medieval Foot Armor Chainmail Shoes – Now with more Chaffing

Apparently there is a ‘barefoot shoes’ market? Yes some folks like the barefoot feeling…I on the other hand like the protection from twigs, small rocks, dirt, cockroaches, and some forms of liquid.

Chinese Armored door decimated by 11-year old with a Can Opener
