ive spent more than a few summers in turn-shoes, which were a dominant construction method of footwear in medieval europe. mine are modern recreations made in as correct a way as seems feasible.
you absolutely cease to heel-strike in about a day. your gait shifts. when fighting, you take many quick short steps. hills and slick grass are interesting.
i haven’t tried hobnailed boots but my friends who have think they improve traction at the cost of some comfort — you’re basically walking on permanent cobbles. they absolutely destroy flooring.
- DerDangDerDang 9y agoMy hobnail boots are pretty comfy, great for combat on rough terrain. They’re not a turnshoe though, the sole is nailed - so could be different I guess. Running on concrete gets interesting... and you need to avoid treading on bare feet. Other than that they’re awesome.
