Boot The Cavalier boot is similar to the SCA style boot except that it is usually above the knee in height and can be rolled down to below the knee. The Cavalier boot represents boots worn from 1300's to the 1600's in western Europe by wealthy Lords and Ladies. With your Cavalier boot, ankle laces or buckles give a much more finished look. Garters are recommended as these boots are soft and tend to sag around the ankle.
Garters also provide a more kept look while holding the boot up over the knee.
A round or square toe generally looks best. Cavalier boots are most popular for Fencing. Campaign Style Boot Campaign Boots are the extra-tall version of the Cavalier Boot, usually waist high, but not more than 32 inches tall. Here are the options available to enhance and personalize your boot. Ankle Support Those wishing good ankle support for fighting should add one of these options.
