Dagged Cuff Medieval Boots

Where the Viking Age Meets the Medieval Court — A Boot Unlike Any Other
Two of the most visually commanding traditions in medieval footwear history meet in a single boot. The pointed poulaine toe — the signature of 14th and 15th century European courtly fashion, worn by nobility across England, France, Burgundy, and Poland as a deliberate signal of wealth and status — rises from a shaft shaped by Viking lace-up tradition and crowned by a decorative dagged cuff drawn directly from the ornamental leather cutwork popular at the height of medieval court fashion. Known as poulaines, carefully designed leather shoes were all the rage, especially for their extremely long pointed toes. Poulaines reached their peak of popularity in the 15th century. The length of the shoe tips varied according to status and fashion — nobles and wealthy citizens often wore the most extreme forms. Noirtide's Dagged Cuff Medieval Boots take that courtly drama and fuse it with the raw, laced energy of Norse warrior footwear — producing a boot that belongs equally to the medieval battlefield and the great hall, the LARP field and the cosplay convention floor. Available in commanding All Black or the arresting two-tone Black and Red — a colour combination with genuine historical precedent in 14th century contrasting-leather fashion. Made entirely to order in 100% genuine leather to your exact measurements.

Genuine Leather Throughout — Three Defining Details Done Right
Every pair is handcrafted from premium full-grain genuine leather in both upper and lining. Three design elements define this boot and demand real leather to work correctly. First: the pointed poulaine-style toe — elongated and assertive, it references one of the most documented and visually distinctive shoe styles in medieval history, shaping the foot's silhouette into something unmistakably of its era. Second: the dagged cutwork cuff — the decorative scalloped top cuff with its pierced circular cutouts and scalloped lower edge references medieval dagging, the ornamental cutting of leather and fabric into decorative shapes that flourished across 14th and 15th century European court costume. In the Black and Red variant, the contrast between the black cutwork cuff and the red leather shaft beneath turns every one of those cutouts into a window of colour — theatrical, deliberate, stunning. Third: the cross-leather lacing running up the shaft — a Viking and Norse-influenced closure system that provides adjustable security and a visual rhythm that ties the whole boot together. Choose a leather sole for period display and indoor events, or a rubber sole for outdoor events, LARP terrain, and all-day festival wear.

Every pair of Noirtide Dagged Cuff Medieval Boots is made to your exact measurements — foot length, foot width, calf circumference, and shaft height all confirmed before production begins.
