Hi All! Hoping for some community recommendations. I am looking for a good pair of sturdy LARP boots that will last me several seasons. A friend suggested House of Andar, but unfortunately, they do not have a size that will fit me in a style I want. I am willing to spend up to $250 but will consider going higher if it's worth it. Points for speedy shipping!
t.i.a.!
Hey everyone, super excited for the game hall this year! To those who are interested in hearing some interesting stories, learning new games, and having a phenomenal night in Shadow, come visit Umoja!
Hello! I'm doing a bit of LARP gear downsizing. I originally was going to just toss everything, but I figured I'd offer here first. No charge. I'm happy to donate to a good home/someone with a need. I can also ship to you or bring it to the Fest. I'd rather see stuff go to fellow LARPers if I can help it. Cheers! -Mel ETA: I'll be deleting photos as people claim stuff so as to avoid confusion (mostly on my part, probably, lol).

Hello!
When people talk about footwear, I usually recommend viking style of shoes because not only do they look good for most garb kits, but they also conform to your feet overtime as they are made of leather. Having attended many long events, to include re-enactment, I often tell people that if you can afford it to have two pairs of "in game or immersive" shoes/boots. Wearing boots for an a long period of time isn't reccomended in my personal opinion but are great for combat. Boots have a tendency to wear on the feet/skin and make your feet stink, while shoes add more beathable circumstances.
Leather Shoes - walking, non-combat
Leather Boots - combat, hiking, trekking
I used to buy from vikingleathercrafts all the time:

My current pairs of Jorvik shoes/boots have been with me for about six years and they both slip on and off with ease. Whats nice about the site I referenced, is that they can add vibrams to the bottoms of the shoes for grip/combat as well.
With confidence, I can say out of all the styles of shoes and boots I have worn over the years, the Jorvik style are by far the best suited for LARP because of the looks and most importantly the function.
